Orientation 6/24/13

Noggin, looks like I'm hoppin on a bus today, headed for Dallas. Can you tell me what I should expect? Info will be much appreciated.

 

Haven't worked for pam in years, but I t hink so. Not positive. How bout you just come to Melton lol

 

Tulsa must be crowded. I did my training in sunnyvale. Russell is a good guy, you'll learn a lot. Read through roys posts here, he pretty much hit on evrrything you'll be doing. I'll add some more later tonight, but my load is done. Off to secure!

 

Is pay the same empty and loaded? How often do you run into Canada? Comdata? TCH? When am I eligible for benefits? When is pay day? Weekly, biweekly? K-tag? Pikepass? Sunpass? Prepass? Forced dispatch? Qualcomm? If so, MCP200 or old model? If not, company logs or truck stop logs? Transflow? Trip pak? Strict on routing? Fuel mileage bonus? Safety or productivity bonus? Pet deposit refundable? Forced to chain in winter?



Now that I'm on the bus and on my way to orientation, I'm coming up with all the questions that I should have asked the recruiter!

 

miles empty and loaded paid the same. we use comdata. whenever there is a load dispatched to you. 90 days. every Friday. K-tag no. Pike pass yes. Sun pass no. Pre pass no. Forced dispatch yes. MCP200. Trip pak. 75 mile leniency on route. Fuel bonus yes. Safety bonus no. Pet deposit refund after truck is inspected at yard. Not forced to chain.

 

Noggin, thank you. Can't believe I forgot these questions while talking to the recruiter! Rookie mistake I guess.

 

You can get prepass using meltons reg, it onl y costs 16 a month.

 

One more question... For now, I'm sure ill have more further into my 26 hour bus ride!

what are the trucks governed at now? I saw a post saying 62/63 but it was back in 2009.

 

64.5.

Since I'm doing most of the recruiters work, maybe you should put trk 8736 down on your referral lol

 

Ill slip that in somewhere during orientation, if there's a spot for it.
