[QUOTE="brett636, post: 761063, member: 249"] Thanks, I'll need it! Since I am already working 6 pm to 3 am and I usually can't go to bed till close to 5 am or later I don't see the hours affecting me too much. Its the whole having to take all my vacations early in the year and being on call for the next 2-5 years thats gonna suck. I am located in central Indiana. One of the tests I had to take to get my CDL permit was a doubles and triple trailers test, but I have never seen a set of triples leave my yard before. In fact I have lived and traveled throughout Indiana and I cannot recall a truck pulling triples so chances are I will only get to do doubles at the most. I think only a select few highways are allowed to have triple trailers on them, but I am not completely sure on that. I would suggest avoiding the midwest at all costs for the next few weeks. ;) Already jumped this hurdle. My building has two shuttles that go to Louisville, and I fill in for them when they go on vacation or when we have a third shuttle. I've been certified to go on airport properties for nearly 2 years now. In fact I am one of a small handful of people outside the feeder department who is certified to do this. And here I thought these trucks were lucky to hit 65. This is something I will have to tackle assuming this becomes my permanent new job. Learning to eat less and get some kind of exercise outside of UPS is going to be difficult, but I hope I can learn to manage. So your saying Brett636 wouldn't work as my CB handle? I knew about the air conditioning and the seat, but I did not know the mirrors are heated. Sure would be nice on those package cars when the temperature plummets. Its a real pain to park them in the building because the mirrors fog over as soon as you drive in. :angry: [/QUOTE]
