    No the truck is yours unless you take more then like 14 days off then they would want the truck to be usable, Not much, I think the guys who live up that way get most of that, it is foeced dispatch, but your manager tries to work with you on everything. PM me if you have any other questions or want to get the process started.:biggrin_25514:

    Do they have a chain policy? Are drivers required to chain when the laws are in effect or is their policy to shut down and wait it out?

    Do they have APUs on the trucks?

    Are the trucks auto or manual transmission?

    Are they on elogs yet?

    Yes

    No

    13 speed or 10 Speed

    Elogs rock!!

    Now allow me to explain, if you don't think it is safe for you to travel, they by all means find a safe place and shut it down, now if you have to chain to get to where you can shut down then so be it. I hope this helps.

    P.S. they allow you to idle if the temp is below 45' Or above 72' so if that works for you get in touch with recruiting.

    Ok well here it all is
    DAY 1- paper work reverifying your application and signing tons more typical paper work. Also standard DOT drug/physical
    Day 2- a little more paperwork and videos on safety
    DAY 3- Backing test and driving test as well as going over the basics of safe driving using the SMITH System
    DAY4- Company policies, benefits, intro to E-logs and test on E-logs as well as driving portion of SMITH System
    DAY 5- Wake up and post what you did previous days since you slacked off

    I would say it's good training and if you listen you learn a lot, good safety rules nothin too crazy, e-logs were easy to pick up, instructor is good all in all not too bad for an orientation
