I,m on my way to TMC ON 10/05/07 and I,m a new driver or should I say starting a new career in trucking. Any tips on how to get through the first 9 weeks.
ziggyzago, I believe you will be driving a flatbed, If so a few quik points to remember. Always leave a good distance in front of you, to stop. Always make sure your chains are snug. Stop and check them about every couple of hours. Make sure you have plenty of rest. And most of all, Drive slow on ALL RAMPS, or any curves. Again, quote, be carefull on All curves and ramps, and I think you will do just fine. If you have any questions regaurding safety, jump on the CB, or truck stop, THERE will be some driver, that will give you some good advice. Good Luck, and enjoy your new job. Holy cow, looked at the date, a little late, but if any other driver, driving a flatbed, hope this helps ya a little.
