    Even though there are plenty of signs saying "11'10" Clearance" and flashing lights on both sides of the bridge a truck is usually being unwedged from that bridge one every few months or so.

    Don’t think it matters. I believe you can have up to 4 tickets. I got hired with 2 tickets at the time were 2.5 years. 1 15 mph over ticket reduced to weaving in lane. Glad their off my 3 year record now. My buddy got hired with an accident to the grocery side. Trailer swing hit a parked car recently when he was at Sysco. I wouldn’t worry. If their already sending you on a drug test and strength test you’ll be hired after those come clean.

    15 over on a CDL is a BIG deal though

    I would talk to your recruiter and make sure they know before you spend more of your time.

    Unfortunately.

    Nobody likes delivering fresh chicken. Net weight on those cases is 50-57 lbs, plus another 10ish for packaging and injected marinade. Some of the hotshots here double stack it and run 9-10 cases at a time, but 5-6 straight up is enough for this guy.

    Back in the day, it came in tubs. It was a leaky, nasty mess. The customer was supposed to return the tubs clean, but that was rarely the case. At least it’s usually dry the way it is packed now.
