Training wheels are off!

Wow where do I begin 19 days ago I started my second wave of training. After my week long battle with a intense kidney stone attack that I got while on my first two weeks on the truck. Well I started out with a very important load going out to Ohio. It was another trip to the east I was very excited. Let me jump back a little and say this first. If your not okay about being away from family and friends this job is not for you. If you cant deal with living in a smaller confined space this job is not for you. If your not used to taking a shower every other day this job is not for you. there are many other things that I could say but will keep it at that lol. Well back to my trip. I started off in california working my way to washington to get a load going to ohio. We hit rain right off the bat in washington pouring down like crazy early in the morning. not only at night but on a mountain heading into idaho.i was nervous. It was late and raining and i could barely see the road it was all wet. we slept at a walmart pulled in about 2am in the morning. it was the only safe spot at the time. The next morning we were off and it was a great day sun was shining and we were able to get all the way to Montana and it started to rain again. You gotta love the rain if your going to be a OTR driver. so let me jump ahead a few states. We delivered our load to Ohio and got a pretrip assignment We were on our way to Mississippi. Whoohooo we were off we traveled through a few more states Kentucky was humid tennessee was worse but when we hit Mississippi it was 100 percent humidity and 105 and raining thunderstorms. I was like OMG this sucks lol. I could hardly breath it took me a whole day to get used to the humidity somewhat lol. We slept with the AC on all night at 50 degrees. Shower felt great that night. made the delivery the next day and then we finally got our pretrip heading to Nevada I was excited that i was heading west. It took us 2 1/2 days to get to nevada from Mississippi. I was able to drive more hours now since I was in my last week of training. I needed to get back to Washington by Tuesday for orientation. One day we drove 900 miles. One thing I will say if your afraid of major storms in the east don't get on the US fleet because you will be in some major storms like I was. 4 states of storms in one day. in went from 105 with 100 percent humidity to 36 degrees and snowing in one day. well Im finally here in washington and ready to start my last 2 days of classes in the morning. The training wheels are off and I'm ready to go. Oh I got a phone call from my recruiter in Modesto today and he informed me there was a dedicated run opening up from Modesto to wheeler ridge. I took him up on that offer this will get me home every night. so now I wont be living in my truck unless i choose to go back out on the road. So in the end it all worked out for me. Alot of long hours of training and sleepless night and many miles.
