1St Load Ever!! I'm A Trucker Now (Prime)
Topic 16663 | Page 1
Awesome, it is a great feeling. I was there just 2 weeks ago. Wait until you land your first back in a really tight area. When you get it in, you will feel really good.
Congrats! On completing ur first load. Hope to be in your position soon enough. Waiting on a mentor to ride out with. Can't wait to start seeing and learning what I will need in order to be on my own. Be safe out there OTR. ✌🏼️
OK OK OK I'm not a trucker yet. But it felt good to get my first miles behind me to see what I looked forward too.
Just think a week ago I had just got to prime and never driven ever. Now I'm on the open road shifting gears like I was trucker in my past life.
I catch on to things easy but this was something I thought would take time and give me hell. It didn't at all. By no means am I perfect but I am comfortable in the seat and I think that counts for something.
Sleeping at my first truck stop toni g t here in OKC while writing this and I can't sleep for excitement but I know I have to go soon just wanted to share my progress. TTYL Datguycole out
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Congratulations!
This career can be really rewarding. It can also humble you in a split second. Always remember that warning, so you can enjoy the rewarding parts of it.
Great.. and ALWAYS DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH THE..........WHAT IF.....and know that there will be good days and bad days.........Enjoy and MOST OF ALL BE SAFE.....NO LOAD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOURS OR ANYONE ELSE LIFE.....10-4
Congratulactions! I probably drove right by you last night. I fueled at the Petro in OKC last night and I'm sitting here in Tulsa at the moment. Heading to MS here in a few hours. Just don't lock your keys in your truck and you'll be fine. LOL
