Driving Record

Visit companies websites and see what their requirements are before applying or call them.Following too closely might be similar to a reckless charge and reckless I believe is the worst violation to have in this industry.

 

They still will hire you. Home time is based on company policy, not where terminals are located.
Lots of refrigerated freight into and out of WI.

 

This is not 100% true across all of trucking. For sure there is one thing you can count on though. For every serious at fault accident you are in your employment options in this industry get smaller.

 

I work for Averitt. You are fired for any accident with following too closely or rear-end with you behind the wheel.

 

Schneider is so strict that LEGALLY backing on a street to make a turn instead of running over a curb is unsafe and worthy of losing your job. I was a mover (I had to fit those trailers in residential neighborhoods, and spent a lot of time backing on streets, then graduated to running brick for a landscaping company, where it was ALL backing on residential streets) when I laughed at some guy telling me that story of why he was fired for having to back to make a turn that he undershot into a terminal.)

Your best chances are probably with all the companies that train and rely on high turnovers. Just go solo, driving team was hell to me.

 

I may be wrong, but I don't think it is legal to back onto a road right of way in any vehicle. I think there may be an exception in a truck if you have a spotter.

 

Any offers yet?
