Congratulations! I’ve been a silent follower of your story on here but very happy to see you made it! We follow similar paths. I just finished my first 34 hour reset of my career after a great first week solo! I recently went and picked up my truck as well, a brand new 2025 FL Cascadia.

I think you’ve probably figured out by now as well as I have that the real training comes in these first few weeks solo. I’ve learned a lot more solo than I did with trainers. The trainers laid great ground work and gave you the base fundamentals to make you successful but you really just have to go out there and do it on your own.

Keep up the good work and stay safe out there!

Congratulations, James! In a way I envy you. Starting out as a new driver is one of the most exhilarating feelings I can think of. It's like being newly born. Suddenly everything you do and experience is observed with wide-eyed wonder.

I hope you get that feeling too. Even on the days when nothing seems to go right and you wonder if things will ever get any easier.

(Spoiler alert) Yes. It will get easier.

Congrats James!!! You're a total stud man. You just kept trying and pushing and applying despite multiple setbacks until you got to the point you're at now. I haven't been on here in a couple weeks really so sorry I missed it. Hope it's going well for you out there so far. You've got my number--reach out anytime if you need anything
