Especially when in both orientation and by your Mentor (hopefully)...almost forgot also by your DM...the driver is instructed to "contact your DM or someone from the offices, whenever you encounter a problem with the shippers or receivers"!
Drivers are not to be put in customer service or public relations positions...let the pros do it...after all that is why the DM's, planners, CSR's and the like get the BIG BUCKS and drivers get pennies per mile!
Just a tad taller than Mickey Mouse!
Must be able to complete the job application, must be breathing, should be ambulatory, and bring a note from mommy that you are OK with staying out late on a school night!
Drivers don't need the note from mommy!![]()
Riddle me this...

I meant to respond to this sooner and then forgot all about it. But I guess late is better than never.
*disclaimer- the following is merely what I have gleaned from experience and is not official. I've never seen the official calculations.
Sitting in your truck with the engine off does not count toward idle time in any regard. I can sit for hours, and my idle % never changes. Engine running truck sitting for more than 5 minutes (long idle) increases idle %. Engine running truck rolling or engine running for less than 5 minutes with the truck parked decreases idle %.
So best I can figure it's the percentage of time the truck is running in "long idle" out of all the time the truck engine runs.
This allows for a small loophole. If you're sitting you can run the truck just until it shuts down, and your idle % will actually go down. 5 minutes of heat or cool sometimes is all you need.scottied67, JustSonny and Tapeworm Thank this. -
Sometimes I crack myself up....good thing too...usually nobody listens anyway! -

She was NEVER the shy little thing you think she was. And she doesn't need a pointy stick......she's young and very athletic......she can kick your rump.
