Finished OTR Training..

I have not done it yet, but I think the mileage is misleading because it sounds like a big number, but the more important number is how many weeks it's crammed into. That's not much time on the job, period. When you take into consideration all of the aspects that need to be taken in, that makes it seem even shorter, so I'd say your feelings are very much in line. Planning the trips, using the QC, driving, handling the truck in various conditions, learning the trucker's lifestyle, communicating with the dispatcher and the receivers, learning to function by the HOS clock..... so much to process.

I am pretty sure the "sink in, get it" level increases drastically once you do it by yourself. Until now you've had someone to lean on. Now you will make decisions and realize your confidence factor as each decision registers in your head as something you know. But you're not completely alone. You can call your FM , dispatcher, other truckers, and you have the plethora of input from the veterans on here.

YOU CAN DO IT!!! And congrats on your progress.
