Bonuses are funny things. On the one hand, employers try to make them sound like they're a given. On the other hand, if bonuses were guaranteed,...
I hope he doesn't send that request in writing.
The pay is better than flipping burgers, if you're just looking at gross income. The pay (for over-the-road trucking at one of the bigger,...
Sure, it's not rocket science. But knowing that you steer in the opposite direction when reversing in a combination vehicle (unless you're...
I'm guessing it's just on his work record. Having been fired isn't a good thing, especially in this economy. I suppose you could just leave...
I'm about as critical as you can get of the big companies and the direction they (with the government's urging, whether intended or not) are...
How many days off do you get in-between, though? Typically jobs with extremely long shifts give you more time off. It's not that working one...
Fairly or not, a lot of these trucking companies will look at the record and discard your application without a second look. They don't care...
Yeah, that post was pretty obnoxious, whether you agree with it or not. I'm a relative newbie myself, and I nearly spat coke all over my screen...

You are required by law (as a CDL holder) to report out-of-state tickets to your driver's-license state. That said, if you live in...
It sure as heck should be possible -- or more to the point, companies should apply some common-sense discretion when they're trying to figure out...
All of that is true, but there are two sides to every coin. Common-sense idling policies? I think we can all agree that it's reasonable for...
God bless you. :) I'm not saying I don't enjoy trucking. I love the work, even though I often despise the job. But purely from a...
Philly could use one too. :)
The point is that, 28 years ago, Paddington's uncle made about what the average driver can expect to make today -- and not the average new driver,...
(Emphasis mine.) A year-long apprenticeship is excessive, no doubt, but you should want as much training as you can get. Just because you earn...
