Understanding cargo securement

Montana and Washington are nice! Hate getting shut down because of those snow storms though especially from Oregon into Washington. My grandparents lived in Bozeman and my aunt lives in Belgrade, MT.
Yeah I think I've lived up here too long now that everything is just mundane to me not to mention a lot has changed. The economy is so good here and I believe we are at our lowest employment rate...everyone is moving here. So I just feel crowded here. I loved when Walmarts were 24 hours (were being the key word) because I could go in at 2 a.m. and not deal with the long lines, traffic, etc. I still do love Idaho, but Boise is currently the most expensive city in the U.S. right now. I've been here in the Northern Utah area since 2014. Ready for a change. Would like to move eventually....was looking at Alabama or Arkansas I absolutely love the quiet, country lifestyle! Idaho I've always loved too! Small towns like Carey or Preston. I will be going further North once the insurance approves it. I know our company does a lot of Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Idaho....and some randoms every once in awhile like New Jersey.

 

What do you mean by they want you to test out on the equipment by driving under test conditions after passing the written tests? Is this under test conditions when you are already with a company and/or before they actually apply the endorsements to your license?

And I'm glad they have my me local for now to learn over again how to drive stick. Could you imagine me trying to learn this OTR? Props to the old schoolers who learned like that....sink or swim method, but times are different. People are different. I've learned so many things from older people whether it was friends, co-workers, people on here, people I've dated that I myself never learned in school. They don't teach and didn't even teach in my years the things they taught y'all. So unfortunately and I hate saying this because for the people that didn't want this and it's not our fault, we are dumbed down. How many of y'all in school learned basic life skills?? Whether it is less prevalent now or not....balancing a checkbook, writing a check, reading a map, basic cooking skills, etc? How many of you were taught go to college? I mean, I've talked to plenty of people who told me they wished they went to college BUT I've also talked to lots of others who said college didn't do anything.....they could be making more working a job like ours....trucking or warehouse production. I wanted to go to college at one point but I learned that I don't learn that way first off....I am a hands on person and I don't have the attention span to sit and read book after book and go through lecture after lecture day in and day out not to mention looking at the return of investment and debt to income ratio for it all is a joke!

 

Guess what? No offense taken whatsoever BUT just a side note that you got that "he" wrong. Actually a woman If you ever seen my profile pic when it was up on here, I do have short hair now....growing it back out. Used to have it down to about my stomach and had to cut it. So I definitely look more tomboy at the moment.

 

Lmao! Yeah I would assume that too though. Still is a predominantly male dominated field
