I finished up my local training last week and am now moving on to work with my regional trainer for the next month or so. I thought they’d ease me into it, maybe send me a few hours away and back. Nope. My first trip is gonna be 13+ hrs to the east coast, so with initial route and backhaul I’ll be out for 3-4 days depending.
I’m really nervous but in a good way, not in a “omg, I don’t think i can do this” kind of way, but more of a “be extra cautious, be mindful of what can go wrong, and pay extra attention to everything so you don’t screw up!” kind of way.
Wish me luck!
