I have now driven officially for Prime, Inc.
We picked up a loaded trailer at Prime’s yard with heading for Oklahoma City. It’s a short trip scheduled for delivery at 11:00 o’clock tonight. Short and sweet; a good first trip for me.
While we were checking out, two more of my classmates were picking up bus tickets home. I estimate that about half of my class did not make it out onto the road with an instructor.
I drove for 3½ hours and then swapped seats with Lori (after a nice in-truck dinner of salad) so she could take the load the rest of the way in. I got a little taste of various driving situations; merging, up and down hills, changing highways, and even some “big city” freeway driving through Tulsa. I didn’t hit anything, so I count it a success!
We’re pre-planned to pickup another load in Fort Gibson, OK tomorrow evening that’s due for delivery in Longmont, CO (just north of Denver) late Wednesday. I think we jinxed ourselves by saying we hoped we wouldn’t have to drive through Denver this week since the Democratic Convention is there. Oh, well. With any luck we’ll be able to skirt around any congestion.
