USX drivers...how's your day??

ok....you do have your CDL already...right

 

yes have my paper cdl and the tankers, doubles, triples and hazmat. Scheduled for wednesday at tunnel hill as long as my hard copy arrives by Tuesday afternoon...

 

ok....well we will be there chilling together....i have my endorsements as well....i took the hazmat tests but didnt pay for the Background check.....was waiting until i get hired on before i spend the cash for that

 

Been sitting in Fowler, CA all day and will be here all night......... had some things to do anyway and got a great PP too... So, all in all, a great day....

 

What's wrong with you? Don't you know you are supposed to be complaining LOUDLY when you have to sit?

Speaking of sitting, my class is not until tomorrow. I've cleaned my truck, done laundry, stocked up at Walmart, and took a shower. Now I can relax a little before putting my life in danger...LOL

 

Be glad you are going on Wednesday, I have had the non-pleasure of being at the terminal for several Mondays, wednesdays are waaayyy easier and fewer people. Just be ready to still be sitting on the following monday waiting to sort things out. As to your weight, you didnt mention any details, so its hard to say. There are 2 physical tests, the regular one, that you need to run dedicated and a little easier one if you only want to be eligible for OTR. I have seen several people fail the pt, duck walk, and heavy box gives them trouble and also their blood pressure is too high and they get sent home. Most do ok, but it seems like about 8 to 10% do not pass the physical

 

Everybody is sitting it seems, rumors are that computers are down, so no driver techs or calling and talking to fleet managers, so we just sit

 

Small advice, bring every document that you even remotely think that you night need, doesnt matter what recruiter says, if you think, or have heard or at one time been told that you MIGHT need, bring it. Or you might find yourself going home until you get it squared away. At least make copies...cant tell you the dozens i have seen , and 2 of them were almost us...take copies of everything, paystubs, birth and wedding records, health info, doctors releases, employment history and possibly some paystubs or tax info to prove work history...ignore this warning at your peril

 

3 people failed the duck walk today.

 

wow really... is it that hard.
