First great load in progress! Great pay! We have multiple stops. Weather has been stupid but not icy. I will up date when done!

Janet and Kevin, No maam. The only thing you must do is a temp assure run to be certified for TVAL. They will explain that. There was probably 25 in the class.

Josh, Thank you for that post on weather. We are out of training now and waiting on that first great load. The weather here in Canton, Ohio is awful. Ice covered in snow. Our drive to this truck stop was uneventful but I took it slow because I am empty. I have no shame to stay in that right...

Gr8wing it was great to meet you as well. Linda and I have had great talks and I really appreciate the friendship. We are waiting on that good load opportunity. We have received 5 and declined them. They were mostly Surface Expedite only one White Glove and it was going to a horrible freight...

Training Update: Training is complete at Fed Ex Custom Critical. What a wild ride. Day 4 was our TSA/CCSF - Airport Clearance, White Glove, Artwork Clearance and some great information and key points on what FXCC offers. The assessment was easy as long as you followed along and took notes. Day...

Janet and Kevin, it is best to order these items at training. If you order in thge morning they will deliver it to you in the afternoon at class. They will give you one shirt and one hat each.

Orientation Day 3 - Today was a half day unless you took the webinar. We did TVAL training this morning and it was very informative. We learned how to handle a load, how to precondition the trailer, do a Journey Marker, change settings and reload thermal paper in the Ameriscan. They added the...

Update Orientation Day 2 - Today we went over C-Link, Hours of Service and Hazmat. It was another day of information overload. Remember if you are going for White Glove and TVAL you must have a Webinar. This webinar is going to cost you 156.50. If you have a Co-driver it is 313.00. Huge Expense...

Orientation Day 1 - You may park your truck in the parking lot off of Tabs Road. The Contractors entrance is Door #5. Even though orientation does not start until 730, go in around 700 and check the place out. Amazing! The first day was tons of information and just plain going over HOS. You get...

I have been to some nasty truck stops as well. I have never understood why people piss or crap all over the ground. We would not do that at home. Just sucks because people think all truck drivers are the same way. Not always true. Crazy stuff.

Josh this has happened to us before and we were in a truck with 53 foot trailer. We had to back out onto a highway and hope like hell no one ran up on us. Stuff like this happens. Sounds like you got out of the bind and got a plan for the future. How is the weather where you are going?

I was trying not to. But that night I just wanted to sleep. Lol. I will not do it again!!

Josh, they did a PM on reefer and did a NIS Test. We needed thius done before orientation. We started heading to Ohio yesterday and got a fault for the Def Valve. Turned around went to Stoops Freightliner and they could not get us in until Tuesday. Did a manual regen and headed to Lodi, Ohio to...

Nice to meet you Janet and Kevin. The dress code is casual. Nice jeans and nice shirt. Godspeed has been great to us. We start orientation tomorrow. I will give daily updates on training and the process. You should get a orientation date next. Give it about a week. Keep me updated on your progress.
