Well I'm hired

Posted on Thu, Jun 26 2008 @ 8:28 AM [CST]

Now I'm just waiting for them to call. My trainer was out last night and they're supposed to call today. Hopefully I'll be going out today or tomorrow.

I'm glad orientation is finally over. However, there's still so much to learn. I really hope I get a good trainer. Seems like the trainer is everything, they can definitely hurt or help you.

I hate waiting around for a phone call, but oh well. I'm finally relieved to have a job, even if it is Swift. With my past, I was lucky to be hired by anybody for a driving job, so I feel I gotta stick with it for a while. Besides, I need the reimbursment for school too.

Wish that HazMat would hurry up and go through so I can get my hard copy CDL. Don't wanna pay for another license so I'm waiting for it too.

Well, type to ya later.

Good luck out here and remember to keep an open mind and be willing to learn. Some things may sound foolish but they sometimes do work. This job will be a real eye opening experience. You don't realize what it's like in a big truck until you get out on the roads with one. Just keep your cool around traffic and expect the unexpected at all times. I believe I seen your from the Kansas City area. So you shouldn't have a problem getting home. Don't let them cut any home time short. Believe me they will try to see how much they can get away with. All companies do it to some extent. If your suppose to have 48 hrs off,don't let them send you out after 34.
