Orange is the new Green
That is the tag line of the new company we are working for – Skelton Truck Lines. Their headquarters are located in Sharon, Ontario, Canada. So now we can say we are international truckers! They have a branch in Raleigh, North Carolina that they are just building, so we are getting in on the ground floor of the American teams. We started orientation today, with a tour and introductions to what seemed like almost everyone who works there. They all were super friendly and welcoming!
We got to check out our truck today! It is a brand new 2017 Volvo VNL780, same make and model of our old truck but has some different features inside that we are excited to have. They were finishing up putting the graphics on it, a walk down memory lane for us. They even personalized our doors!
Today was paperwork day, tomorrow will be our Pre-Trip and Drive test along with the beginning of learning about the refer units. More adventures to come!!
