    I use mobile app all the time as a company driver and works well but I have no idea about load board. I will definitely try during the orientation.

    I log in and use the mobile app just fine. It's good for checking assignments and quick load searches, but the laptop is easier for actually comparing loads.

    First day of orientation was really long. We did all paperwork today. Day started with small introducing and we started to sign regulations and other stuff. Then we walked through our trucks and spent around 15-20 min to looked at it. After lunch insurance representative came in and explained about policies and we bought our insurances. Rest of the day we did watch some videos and talked about choice program. At the end of the day we got our driver numbers. It was pretty easy for me because I was a company driver so I knew all those procedures. Tomorrow we will start to learn about load board and other things for new drivers.

    I decided to make 1 year lease which is the best option I guess. So I got 2015 Cascadia Evo.

    After training, they gave us first empty location. I went to urbandale, ia then I picked relay load out of there going montgomery, il. Then I dh to gary oc and picked load going to Coatesville, pa which is pay really good. Taking my 34 at home and looking load boards however nothing seems good out of new jersey. Everything goes to either ma or ct and nothing coming out there. I guess I need to take one cheap loads to get me out of northeast than make some other loads.

    Welcome to IC,
    you will learn fast were all the dead areas are, New Jersey is one of them, going in is ok, coming out is a different scenario.

    it will take time to figure it all out.

    A hint, Chicago is the centre of everything...... Specially freight

    you will learn how to zigzag that's the way it's done.
     
    Tombstone and knuckledragger Thank this.
