I'm trucking now. Got put with a female mentor who is lesbian and married to her wife. She is from texas. Really cool and we are getting along great. She was tired of taking on other women trainees because of how they were acting, and requested male trainees. I lucked out. So far it's been a good couple of days and starting the third. I'm driving a freightliner 10 speed, and I have the shifting down for it. I'm near perfect with detaching and hooking up to a trailer. Driving is super simple because of my experience, and I'm learning the paperwork, tracking system, and backing. If I keep up the great work, I may only need to do 100 btw hours instead of 200, but I won't mind. As long as I can get the trailer backing down, I'm good.

I'm in texas today, got into El paso/ sparks last night. Delivering a load to lancaster texas. This will be an interesting job for sure.
