Hi guys,

Just a quick update. I'm done with orientation and training and all went really well. Company is sending me out solo starting tomorrow for the regional division!

Got my truck assigned this past friday. It's a 2005 International with a C13/10-speed. It ain't nothing to brag about but I went over and as far as I can tell it looks mechanically solid and all maintenance was done to it recently. But I'll take what is given to me and will try to make the most of it.

The dispatch seems like a nice guy. His plan is to start me out slowly and ramp up from there depending how I do. The company also has a great support structure in place for new drivers, so I wont really be left on my own.

Still can't believe I just pulled the trigger on this career mid-january and here I am going solo before mid-april. And loving every minute of it so far!

Regional:

Regional Route

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
