Sitting in Syracuse waiting for my trainer to pick me back up after my home time. Last I heard it was way out west headed back to the Northeast. Hopefully get back on the road tomorrow or Friday.

Any flatbed trainers in Northeast need a TNT trainee?

 

I was just wondering if anyone could answer a couple questions for me. 1) What is aB2 seat driver consist of? 30+k team with a trainer.or something like that...2) not really that important but how fast do the trucks go? my last co ably went 60 so lille I said not really important. I'm starting orientation on the 11th. Any advice is helpful.

 

B seats have a CDL but no experience. If youve gone through the PSD phase, you do a minimum of 30,000, if you dont its 40,000 MINIMUM. Company trucks are normally goverend at 58 on the floor, and 62 on the cruise.

 

B2 seats are new hire drivers who have experiance but are required by safety to run some training miles.

It's not 40k but much less. Athough it could be extended up to 40k

Safety makes a decision and tells you ahead of time how many training miles. It's usually determined by your recent driving experiance.

If you were on the bubble, they used to pull ya from orientation and have you take a go at the training pad. Im not sure if they put you on the simulator to do the same theses days.

 

He said B2.

There are B, B1, & B2. Some have more experiance than others... Safety determines the milage requirements for B1 and B2.

Sometimes milage isn't the determined length for B1 or B2. I've heard of some instances where safety determines the length in weeks.

B1 & B2 aren't necessarily new hires with some experiance or little recent experiance. Sometimes they are drivers who where A seat solos that screwed up and they are given the option of going back out for more training or losing their job.

 

Does Prime have pre-passfor scales and tolls?

 

Prepass is for scales. Yes. EZPass is for tolls in the northeast-ish area. Yes.

Do not have a pass for: OK, KS, TX, FL or CA tolls. (I may have forgotten one or two states).

 

Upon going solo on average what can I expect a weekly paycheck to look like running reefer.

 

Itll have numbers...

 

Well obviously, but will it at least look the same if not better than the 600 a week with a trainer?
