Cargo Transporters Claremont, NC

Dang that crazy!!! I wouldn't be able to deal with all that.

 

Your dispatcher makes a world of difference. I told mine I needed to be home Friday. Got nervous when I got a load to northern OH on Wed. However got unloaded this a.m. and was preplanned on a load that picked up less than 2 miles from the last delivery. Already preplanned on a load that will get me home by lunchtime Fri. and will get me out Monday a.m. I very seldom have to wait for a load assignment.

 

Is it against companies policy for someone to be in the top bunk sleep while the truck is moving?

 

I thought it was. This was my first week of Otr training and I asked my trainer if he I could put my covers on his bed and sleep while he was driving. He told me no and that I would have to get used to sleeping on the top bunk while the truck was in motion. I was like with all do respect I'm not sleeping up there while we moving. I called his fleet leader and he claimed that it wasn't illegal and that dot has approved cargo to let people sleep in the top bunk while in motion.

 

I talked to les or Lynn and they had the same views and thoughts that I did that it was illegal and unsafe to be on the top bunk while the truck was in motion. He was like unless they recently changed it and he wasn't aware of it then he wouldn't want anyone anyone in the top bunk while the truck was in motion. He connected me with Jerry Waddell and I left him a voicemail.

 

Nestle waters is a nightmare around allentown, pa .I waited 8 hours to get loaded and was forced to start my 10 hour break backed in the dock door. Wal-Mart DC bottled water load.
