My trainer (Victor) picked me up from the hotel at 130am and we went to the yard to get the truck and load. My first trip was from Colton, CA to El Paso, TX with supplies for Sam's Club. We arrived at the store around 9pm, but had to wait to be unloaded until 930am the next day.

After a short break in the depot it was off to pick up another trailer destined for Wal-Mart in Las Cruces, NM. This was a very uneventful drive and we arrived around 10pm and departed back to Colton, CA around 11pm.

Another day another challenge, this time the Donner Pass in California. We set off from Colton, CA around 6pm and were heading for Clark, NV. My trainer drove until we reached the summit of The Donner Pass at 7227ft. It takes about 50-60 minutes to ascend or descend this pass in a truck.
At the summit we had a short break and then I took over driving for the descent, and onward to Reno and the Walmart DC at Clark NV. We hooked up our load and then headed off for our drops at various Walmarts in Northern California, Atwater, Merced, Madera and Fresno. After all the deliveries were made it was back to Colton, CA arriving Wednesday morning for a 34 hour restart break. See you next trip.
