04/20 - 04/24

The week started early Monday morning. My trainer wanted me in Alachua by 0700 which meant I had to leave my house by 0445. We met in Alachua and went to get our trailer but the distribution center had not finished loading it. We waited at the office until the trailer was ready which was at about 0930. We then left for Eastman and Dublin, Ga. We returned to Alachua late Monday evening, picked up our next load and headed to Pensacola. We went to two stores in Pensacola and then headed to Albany, Ga. to pick up a load. We then took the load from Albany to another distribution center in Jonesville, SC. We arrived in Jonesville at about 0100 Wednesday morning, we dropped the trailer we picked up in Albany and went to sleep. We woke up at 0500 to pick up an empty trailer to take to a paper shipper in Augusta, Ga. When we arrived at the shipper, we waited for them to load the trailer and then left for Alachua. This trip was longest of my training so far, almost 900 miles. The rest of the week was spent at stores in small Alabama towns. The week ended late Friday afternoon. I now have over 200 of the 300 hours needed to complete my training. I should be finished in a couple of weeks.
