Profile For Seminole Wind

So just a quick note while I have time. I havent been in much, but did want to put out there Im a proud class A CDL holder now. Just tested out yesterday, gave my notice to the school bus & am gonna be headed to atlanta on the 20th. MAAAAN I didnt realize once you set things in motion they go faster n faster as time gets close. Im excited, scared & amazingly happy all at the same time. I want to give many many thanks for this site and all who are a part of it. Yall helped me a ton !!!

Ok Ive been in contact with a Werner recruiter & shes telling me I can go thru orientation, but they may send me home because of the wait time. I was under the impression once I go thru orientation I was in their employ . . . wait to be assigned a trainer, go thru the driving test, physical, etc & now Im getting conflicting stories. Ive talked to a driver thats headed to Atlanta to pick up a trainee & was told theres almost a 2 month wait for trainers. Now I wont be ready to make the trip until I finish up my classes & graduate in April, but I dont want to be pushed by the way side nor NOT earning a check . . . May be go with another company, but there again getting on a trainers truck seems to be the trouble, but this could be any company. Or is there just a high rate of drivers being trained & ready & the companies are having a hard time keeping up. Sorry for kinda rambling but this is SO confusing . . . HELP please ??

Ok . . . Is the torch for frozen brakes ?

Whats a CHEP ?

APU is an Auxiliary Power Unit but as for an explanation of it . . . I know it powers other gadgets you may need/want in your truck instead of having to plug into a 12v power supply. Without it on your truck you will have to rely on 12v only gadgets.

This comes in good time Brett. I was reading today that something you think isnt so severe ( A toothache) can threaten or even end your life. A truck driver died leaving 2 small children & wife behind because he thought he could push thru & handle a toothache. Which in turn, the infection spread to his lungs & took his life. . . Scary ! but food for thought.

Has anyone heard of or seen anything about this company? They dont have much info on the website & I did a search on the boards here but didnt come up with anything . . .

Hopefully u can get to where u need to be & get her fixed before she takes a crap !

Patrick . . Hope whatever it was/is didnt leave u stranded. Got on here to see if everything was ok but dont see anything (Hope we dont see it)

Patrick I know its not a school bus, but do you have a regen system? (Exhaust filter) I know when my bus wont climb even the smallest of hills, I havta do an exhaust regen run. I may be WAY outta my league here but it might help . .
