I'm in the pumpkin club

You can set your SWR on your CB (YouTube how to do it on your model). You just have to make sure the antenna is routed correctly, or all you're going to get is static. The ground is the most important part. Don't want to hit a bump and then have to mess with it.

Any antenna will work. Firesticks after pretty trustworthy. Don't get anything absurdly tall. It can't go more than 20 feet past the top of your truck. Coils are good but not required unless you like talking smack and would like to always have the last word.

 

Hope you meant 2 feet. LoL!!!

 

I've been at this since thanksgiving 17.

buy shower shoes. all ocs are nasty.

don't eat at the oc unless you want to suffer the wrath of Montezuma.

Dallas and Atlanta oc suck in particular.

Pennsylvania sucks.

Florida is a black hole of no escape.

NYC isn't as bad as you were told, just watch your clearances and you'l be fine.

Chicago is the single worst place in America.

iron skillet and country pride are your friend.

your cursing at hill has only just begun.

you will end up stuck behind some douche going 62 and listening to your CMS beep nonstop for untold miles.

absolutely do not use your phone at an oc while driving. however we won't tell if you wont regarding playing music out and about. if another Schneider rats on you, mark him and he will be dealt with. no texting. no videos. no facebook. music is okay.

do your time and gtfo.

if they say "you have to do a sleep study" it' rigged and they are going to rob you of $1,500 for a machine you don't need. if they go there quit and run.

the pay and sometime are crap. don't get your hopes up.

this is not a career company. this is a get me the hell out of here I have my experience now company.

DBLs are ***holes. every single one of em.

buy a will blanket come winter. the anti idle policy saves pennies just to kill you. protect yourself.

 

beg to differ.....Dallas OC has awesome food and nice ladies (a couple of hotties) too.

 

Trip planning is the least of your worries if you're running Regional. What I mean by that is you're going to be going to the same customers over and over and over and you will learn the routes and the time it takes to get there for each one.

 

I run regional and have for 8 years now. Last week I went to only one customer that I've been to before. I'm in West Memphis right now, and I haven't been here in 6 months.

I do my trip planning todat the same way I did 8 years ago. Atlas, truck stop guide, gps, then plan my hours . Trip planning is one of the most important skills a new driver needs, and being dismissive of it irks me.

 

spoken like a true TE..

 

See Welcome to my Nightmare.

 

I'm familiar with Alice Cooper.

 

Single greatest review of all time.
