Going to Prime

Will you elaborate?

 

Not really that different. Only thing different really is they have E-logs now which they didn't have when I was there. They will let me have my same dispatcher too.

 

well for the new guys out there this is a good carrer it has its good and bad
you get used to it and there is plenty of us old timers out here that will help anyway we can so good luck to all of you and keep that ear open out there for Bad Habit.

 

When I talk with the older heads, they say it is a completely different game - and it's changed greatly just in the last three years. Elogs, CSA, competition forcing on-time performance to be essential, but especially - fuel costs will eat you alive if you let it. To name a few... just sayin' fella.

 

I know what you mean. I was there when fuel was almost $5.00 a gallon. Back then my truck was governed at 76 MPH. LOL But now they all are set at 65 MPH and company trucks 63 MPH

 

How ya gonna do that with the interstate shutdown or best case snow covered? Last I checked I-44 is closed as is almost every major highway in Missouri. Do they give that test on the sim?

 

The permit is a written test only.

 

I'm there too. They're confident the DMV ppl are still coming in tommorow, but if not we won't take the test. We're not allowed to use the simulators until we have our permits, so who knows what the rest of this week will hold

 

You should have gotten your permit before you left your home state
