Training update

I have been on Frank’s truck for a little over 2 weeks, have about a week and a half left. It is a 07′ Volvo with a 10 speed auto shift transmission (WOW I don’t ever want to go back to a manual for most driving) I have been doing all the driving, and have almost 5000 miles under my belt The driving is pretty easy, but I still need practice on backing into tight spots, which there will be plenty of on this account. We have electronic logs so there is no cheating on the hours, but it also means the dispatchers can’t push us to run longer than legal. We will be doing a couple hours of backing practice today before heading to Tampa for a delivery tomorrow morning. I will get to sleep in my own bed tonight. The truck has a Truck PC in it that does most of the paperwork. We have to scan our bill of lading at the truck stops to get paid, but the rest of it is done on the truck computer.
