Challenger Motor Freight?

Thanks for the reply!


All those sensors sound pretty annoying if you have to put up with a phone call everytime you go over the limit just a bit. That's good to know. That's something the recruiter didn't tell me yet lmao.

I have also talked to quite a few companies and there are jobs out there; however, as a rookie I am a bit scared about choosing a company as there are so many horror stories out there. $2500 net would be pretty nice for now for me too. I've just talked to an LTL company as well, they don't usually hire newbies, but they said they are interested. We'll see how it will play out. I'll start trucking mid-January (great timing, I know) and hopefully I'll end up with a half decent job. Most recruiters change their tone as soon as I tell them I want to live in the truck and drive as much as possible lol.


What do you do currently? LTL , TL, Reefer, flat or something else?

 

Probably the people who lecture about it don't even have licenses lol.


Oh good for you man, you got that with 6 months of experience. Yeah I have a bunch of companies but the are more or less the same pay wise when it comes to entry level newbie driver jobs. We'll see how it goes!



Thanks for the replies man!

 

New article about incorporated drivers. Biggest problem I see with these Drivers Inc is the cultural difference. Revenue Canada is going to have to hire a army of employees to collect taxes. These immigrants will claim ignorance, poverty, play the race card, anything but pay their taxes but that is not discussed, just fill the seats and move freight..

I'm a newly licenced driver thinking about going with Challenger. I have heard that they have good trucks with automatic gears. This is a big bonus for me because, although I am pretty good at shifting, not having to worry about gears lets me better focus my attention on everything else.

Are there any Challenger drivers out there that can tell me what the trucks are like to live in? I guess the new drivers will get the oldest trucks but is it safe to assume that there will be a fridge and a microwave? I'm not big on fast food or eating out plus its expensive. Do the trucks have 120 volt sockets and what kind of APU does the truck have and will it have working AC?

 

Thanks for your reply. I can buy my own Microwave, they are pretty cheap. I just wanted to know that there is somewhere to plug it in. I would probably buy an electric kettle to make my own coffee too. Is it definitely an APU and not an EPU? I guess this means I would have to turn the APU on whenever the engine is not running to keep the fridge cold or is it automated? How does it work exactly?
