Most Important Questions From New Drivers Threads

Just dont make any long term comit get some exp and get into a comp that you and or i should say your family will be happy with you driving for.....

 

ive been drivin for 25 years and i havnt heard to many good things But its a place to start and or get exp just dont sign any comitments unless you are sure you are stayin thats the last thing you want to do,, good luck in your career and have fun

 

why is it so hard for recent grads to get local jobs such as fedex pepsi etc but most companies want one year over the road experience. is this the standard nation wide? why are co. trainers so unprofessional to student this one guy made a comment to me don't tear up my truck this is how i make my living it was a co. driver that said that not owner operator. and another just stops for fuel and 5 min to eat and no showers. the trucks i drove is a t2000 and a 2004 long nose pete 389. i really would like to go back out but my wife wants me to only do regional 7-10 days out at max. is this possible.

 

I'm so confused.

 

I suspect it is going to be very hard landing any gig if you cannot speak coherently. I would suggest leaving out all the information about the trainer (unless, for some reason it is relevant) Did you quit?

 

Ok....you rambled there darlin. You might want to stick to one thing so it is understood a little better. Wanna try it again?

 

More than likely it's an insurance requirement for preferred rates...Those companies have VERY deep pockets and don't need newbs creating lawsuits so lawyers can stick their hands in them!...I couldn't get past that line in your post...

 

Those particular companies want atleast a years experience for insurance reasons yes. They pay a lower rate because they have experienced drivers working for them. Now that I see atleast some of what he was trying to say

 

Local jobs require more backing experience especially in tight places. Local jobs require knowing how to complete anywhere from 10 - maybe 30 stops in per day. You need experience driving in all conditions and know how to make good time especially in urban areas. Paperwork must be accurate all the time. You have to know your way around an area very very well in a truck and maneuvering skills. It's much more hectic and many more hazards to worry about.
