Pre-tarped loads, usually building materials, lumber, roofing, etc. You will have to untarp and roll or fold the tarps up, and probably tarp...
All of the trucks are set at 61/62 mph, most pull ok. I"m not sure what the percentage of company trucks is with an APU or climate control system...
Look for an opening with a company that does 'blanket wrap' hauling, trade shows, etc. That will get you some experience that may come in handy,...
Yes. I had to work for them for a year to get back into trucking after being out for 14 months, no other company would hire me, although had 20...
I worked for IRT in the '80's. 1/3 of your per mile rate was 'per diem', a rip off. I liked the long runs. I didn't like way they treated...
If you're just starting I think I'd keep away from a company that seems to be primarily in the business of leasing trucks. Most of the Prime...
It's just ONE tool worth using. I"ve had my generic garmin tell me to turn where there is no street many times, 'arrive at destination' in...
3-4 hours last week unloading there.....not great, not bad. I have been to many worse places.
I worked for them in Tampa in the 90's, pulling a pneumatic tank. It was a job, that's about it. At that time they pressured you to run...
It's like we have a choice, right? You're lucky if you find a place to park, and I guess most of us will try to eat where we park. I'm still...
I stopped there once out of curiosity. The chicken friend steak was as big as a dinner plate, but I can't imagine how something that looked...
With this amount of injuries......you'd think he was hauled off in an ambulance?
I've been here two years, miles are still low, and spotty, but the typical is 2300-2400, although occasionally I was getting 3000 mile weeks....
That will change, if they don't cut you back at 5gb, they will, eventually. :( I'd hate to go back to sprint at $60 a month..... Guess I...
Wait and see how they adjust to longer average trip times, and log legally. They hit you in the pocketbook....make sure it's reciprocated.
Most big OTR companies hire by formula. You don't fit in. Try some smaller local companies, construction, etc, get some otr experience THEY...
The bottom line is how much you make per week, and how hard you have to work for it. I made more money working for a previous carrier that...
Wise up, guys. All of these big companies hire by formula. If you don't drop exactly in the slots, they way they have the slots configured, you...
I think Virgin screwed us. I dumped Sprint to move to Virgin, at first, the service was comparable, price cheaper. I maybe watch a movie a week...
Amazingly they seem to only offer this to new hires, and not current drivers. I have run into a few on the 'weekly' fleet, and they seem to like...
