Well my true first official full day on the road a full 14 hours. I started out at 2:15am... wake up call off to the bathroom to clean up out of the sink wtf lol. then off to the coffee station to fuel me up in the morning. A 30 minute trip to the shipper to have them re-adjust my load because it was 1600 pounds overweight on the back Axel. Two hours later were off down I5 north. The load is headed towards Washington. I took over the rig a little past Sacramento. I started out great until it was time to get off the freeway and downshift a bit. I will be needing to work on that a bit. I been 3 weeks out school and the trucks are way different then the school trucks. RPM's are geared lowered for one. I'm sure it will all fit like a glove eventually. I'm just not happy I'm having some trouble on day one. I know I'm hard on myself ...but that's how I am. we are half way through Oregon and had to stop our hours ran out. It's possibly calling for snow in the morning. I am at the 5200 ft elevation tonight. We will see what tomorrow brings. I had a good dinner , Hot Shower and free wifi. I could not ask for anything more. Good night all.
