Profile For Sandman J

Oh and I wanted to let you know, if you do an intro on the main forum (cut and paste is fine), that part gets a lot more views than this section so you'll get more replies and advice when needed.

Awesome! I've only done 3 tours so far, bands popular in their realms but honestly no one I'd ever heard of! BlackPink which is a K-pop band, Don Omar and Fuerza Regida, the last being a seven month tour. One thing that brought me to trucking was there's so many facets of the industry I didn't even know existed, entertainment being one of them.

Welcome to the forum Jim! Sounds like you're having a good start to the industry. Training can be tough, mentally and physically. Just remind yourself it's such a miniscule amount of time in what's hopefully a long as you want it to be career, and whatever you go through in this phase is worth it for the prize: keys to your truck once you go solo. Doesn't matter how long anyone's been at it, we all have days we still feel like a rookie!

Eric, in my opinion, split sleeper can be a difficult concept to grasp at first, but once you understand it, it makes sense. If you do the calculations correctly, you'll know what you'll have on your 11 and 14, and can verify once the time comes that it matches what your tablet shows.

Use the High Road Training Program on this site. Go over it and keep going over it. It will make passing the written tests a breeze.

Fantastic achievements! Congrats Kearsey, glad you got to celebrate it!

Glad it's been going well for you Matthew. How did the rest of week 2 turn out?

I've spent more money attaining and renewing my HME than it's earned me as my company doesn't do many placarded loads. But I keep it current because you never know where you're gonna end up and it may prove more useful in the future.

Good luck PJ...hope you enjoy your new adventure!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I got home last Wednesday and I'm staying home til the 5th. After only being home a handful of times over the last seven months, I figured it was time to spend some time here.
