Paperwork SNAFU this morning. Resolved. Start training at 0500 tomorrow. Won't get issued my straw hat and bow tie as a trainee. Need to be a full fledged Route Driver.

I came off the road about 6 months ago and got a job with a local company delivering high end chocolate.

After sitting behind the wheel for about a year just driving I had gained a lot of weight and became really lazy. With this job I have 51 stores in Nevada and California and I have to hand unload at each store. I got back into shape real fast.

But in the bright side I am on the road 7 days and home 7 days and I bring home twice what I was making OTR 6-8 weeks at a time with one of the big companies.

Good luck to you and keep us posted.

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.

TWIC:

Transportation Worker Identification Credential

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.

Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
