Life after trucking....(marriage)

Posted 06.29.2009 at 11.36 PM by ghostchild
Well, like any marriage...when you divorce...there adjustments you have to make...even though you may not like the marriage or arrangement...there's certain conviences you miss...and if your not careful, will lead you back....

The longer you drive, it seems the more irrelavant you become towards any other career path....it's hard to work youself back into the 'normal' day to day work force...the pace is so different.
Infact, it's hard to work for anyone if you've been trucking...

I broke the system!

Posted 06.25.2009 at 10.25 AM by Frenzy
For the last month the weekly fuel report that the company sends me has had only the last 13 week useage and has not listed the last week. There is a report that my DM puts up that lists statistics for the drivers in his fleet, and I am missing from that report.

Turns out that the system rejects any MPG reports higher than 9.99 mpg as being anomalous data.

I feel bugged every time I look at the monthly terminal reports. The reports are sorted by miles (which are not...

Finally getting a chance

Posted 06.25.2009 at 08.15 AM by Baermaster
Wow tough time to start trucking. I got my CDL A in April was prehired by swift and I can't get a date for orientation still. No one will hire you unless you have at least 3-6 months of experience. So I'm going to Iowa on the 27th to start with CRST. I didn't want to go team but need to get my start somewhere. So I'll suck it up spend my time this summer driving with someone who I hope I get along with. So I'm paying $500 for a week refresher course and hopfully getting a good driver trainer to...

I've been driving for almost 4 years now. I've seen the best and the worst the industry has...before driving I used to travel all around the country as a lumper. And yes, this industry has some of the best and some the most....well, let's say...bums. But now I'm a driver and I suppose I'll always be a driver...or at least in touch with the industry.
This is my third week of unemployment and still looking. No accidents, no tickets and no cargo claims. I'll keep hunting but when I find a company,...

FFE, I'm starting to figure this place out...

Posted 06.24.2009 at 09.16 PM by Biscuit75
So I have been running with these guys for a little over a month now and things are starting to come together. Though I would love to have more miles, when I have had to wait until the next day to get loaded I get a nice little layover added to my check. This has happened a couple times.

I have been staying out for a long time (long to me) because I am taking a week off the July 4th weekend and after for a nice little Vegas trip that has been planned for quite a while. I left out...
