My Experience as a Line Haul Driver

Sore Back, I think you need to swap your age and experience.

 

its in our contract that if we are busy and run behind etc, we get paid that half hour of overtime if told to work through our lunch break. we still get our ten minute breaks though. From what I heard from other employees that if told to work through lunch, and when they tell you return to base, you can then take 20 min to get food or rest etc.

 

Missing Lone Star yet, AT?

 

I was taught heavy front with wiggle wagons.

 

IIRC, the answer is in the NC CDL manual - heavy in front.

Heavy in the front unless they are within 1000 of each other, then it doesn't really matter.

 

Always heavy pup in front. that crack the whip effect and the g forces on the back trailer is worse with the heavy trailer there.

Ive gotten trailers within 100 lbs of each other on the manifest, and Im still putting the heaviest one based on the manifest in front. Why? god forbid you roll a set, then that gives the company another reason to fire your ###. but wait why did you put this 100 lb heavier trailer in the rear. weskest link, goodbye.

All about covering your ###, no matter where you go!

 

And why did it take so long to build the set. had one of those i cant hook this set to save my life kinda night?
