Wow I can't believe how time is flying. I know I posted a few weeks ago saying I would update in the diaries but it just seems like by the time I get home from school I only have a few short hours with the kids before I'm exhausted and ready for bed! Today marks the end of my 3rd week at JTL truck driver training in Omaha NE and wow. I have to say that there is so much more to this industry than I thought. Not a bad thing at all just so much info to cram in 4 weeks! I also got great news last week and as soon as I graduate I will begin work at a local trucking company near my home hauling grain and fertilizer regionally here in the Midwest. I'm nervous but excited at the same time and I know I still have immense amounts to learn but I Also have to say that for once in my life I feel like I've found something that I am good at. My instructors here are thrilled with me and I feel like I've made a good choice. And I have to say this too: I feel that JTL is a fantastic training school. I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about this career. And I am so thankful for this website. It has answered a ton of questions I didn't even know I had!
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.
