Trainee help

Can't help you, I like you, I hate the east coast lol... I commend you though for asking, your trainers an idiot like has been said... I see you got a girl and young child, gent this 3 week nightmare done with an move on... @Chinatown is the resident expert with job referrals

 

signs similar to these are all over. imo its good practice not to use jakes within city limits and small towns.

 

Watkins-Shepard has a terminal in Sayreville,NJ and hire new cdl grads.
Several good hazmat/tanker companies hire in NJ, such as Superior-Carriers where you can easily make $60K+.

 

not ruffle any feathers and last comment.. whats so wrong with learning how to do stab braking with out jakes?

 

Those signs are for older trucks or trucks decked out... Most companies now have trucks with jakes you can't even hear...

 

First - the trainer is an idiot. He may have had good intentions that were poorly communicated, but that still makes him an idiot.

Second - it is a good idea to understand how to go thru hill country without an.engine brake. As Chinatown pointed out the Jake's don't always work. In low traction using the Jake makes a Jack knife more likely - especially for inexperienced drivers. I know most of us could go down a luge track in 18 gear, 60,000 lbs of cargo in an ice storm and not have a problem. Newbies need to be taught how to.not fall out of bed.

 

No, I live in Henderson,NV & Beijing, China.
Here's some tanker outfits to check for future reference:
Superior-Carriers
CTL Transportation
Tidewater Transit
Trimac Transportation
SVTN
Schneider Bulk

Many drivers with Trimac "Elite Fleet" make $100K+ after 24 months experience.

 

You must be a trainer for cr England or a recruiter
