The New Place

This morning I went over to the terminal where I'll be based out of in Milwaukee, WI.  It's not really a terminal.  Well it is but it isn't.  It's a company whose freight I'll be hauling on a regular basis (dedicated regional run).  Their warehouse serves as a quasi-terminal for my company's trucks.  I met the project manager as well as the staff and even one of the drivers.  They all are a friendly bunch and I look forward to interacting with them.

Mr. C went over the specifics of the job, took me on a tour of the warehouse, and showed me how the trailers were loaded.  Tomorrow I'll be going with one of the drivers on a shorter run down through the Chicago, IL area and back.  That will give me a taste of how things will work before being assigned a truck.  Next Monday I'll be on the road again!

Later at home, I started catching up on some of the things I haven't been able to attend to in weeks.  So although I spent much of the day at home, it was most certainly not in "relaxation mode."

Well, since I'm getting up at 1:00 AM, it's time...yawn...to retire for the evening!
