So far so good. I have been getting better and better at the loading process. Yesterday morning I finished loading in a little over an hour and a half (HDPS product, one of the easier products to load I have found.) I am running regional out of Morris and everyone I have worked with as far as terminal managers and dispatchers have been very friendly and help full. I had a really good trainer and he will always answer my phone calls if I have questions out on the road. I am happy with the money I have been making so far. I really am starting to enjoy the job now that I am getting a hang of it. I will be heading down to South Carolina tomorrow which is nice because its about 5 degrees outside right now in Illinois.

Parkersburg has about 20 drivers based out of there, its mostly regional freight with some system mixed in but good miles on the loads and all the people there are top notch. Jim Broadwater the Fleet Manager there drove for the company for a number of years as a company driver and owner operator and even dispatched so he knows a bunch and helps answer questions from new employees/drivers.

Can you tell me what the physical capacity test involved please?

Pretty standard stuff. Lifting , pulling, step ups. Nothing real major or anything. There's not a standard, cause depends on what place is used in and at which terminal. I have high blood pressure and on meds and it wasn't anything that I worried about. it's mostly cause you are actually lifting hoses and climbing on top of the trailer and sometimes railcars if not vented. That's the real reason for it. IMO

Anything good or bad to say about highlands terminal as a company driver? Thinking about applying next year. Only have a few months of experience as a local driver and 2 years as a mechanic. Don't think it helps out much.
