[QUOTE="gray squirrel, post: 693442, member: 5368"] Just an update. I won the bid and did the 40 non-productive training. I then did 40 hours with a supervisor riding with me on the route I run. I have now done 4 days on my own. I was pretty nervous at first, but I am getting more comfortable each day. I still have a hard time setting up doubles, with backing the first trailer onto the dolly then to the rear. The dolly is a pain to back, and I can't even begin to back a trailer with a dolly yet. I'm sure it will get easier with time and experience. I try to set up the doubles quickly, because I usually have the hub area blocked when I am trying to do this. It usually isn't pretty, but I get it done. I check, double check, then triple check my connections before leaving the hub. I love it so far, and have no regrets I bid on the job. I'm getting used to the hours, and take melatonin before I go to sleep, and sleep like a baby. I got paid my 40 hours training on this paycheck, so all is good. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
