Experienced Female Truckers in Tucson, Arizona???

Hard to get nails done while waiting to get loaded. Usually if not always a shipper won’t let you leave and you wouldn’t want to leave a truck sitting on a dock somewhere.

 

Not if you’re getting unloaded or loaded. If you’re at a grocery wearhouse they are busy and have appointments to stick too. Don’t get me wrong, some places you can park for your break and that’s fine but for the most part they just want to get you in and out. Then it’s off to the next one.

 

You have to remember also, a company won’t want you constantly leaving their loaded truck and trailer sitting somewhere while you go do your thing. Even the simplest load can end up being worth thousands to hundred thousands of dollars. The way I always looked at it, I’m on the road to work and that’s it. One load to the next. Just wash rinse and repeat the cycle. Save the things like hair and nails for when you are home.

 

No every shower is it’s own separate bathroom with full shower and amenities. You have a code to get in each door. The code changes once it’s been cleaned and the next driver buys it

 

That’s what I would do. But any sort of dry van or reefer work is really easy running on electronic logs. You have 10 hours a day to rest. It’s not a hard job at all once you have the basic figured out.

 

HDS cdl school appears to be owned by Digby Southwest. It is the same building as their Tucson terminal. You can read my posts for info if you are considering them. I haven’t heard anything about DHT but theit trucks always seem to be nice.

As far as getting dirty, you will, but mostly just dust and dirt. Score some carharts and work gloves. Most jobs that you will find are not driver unload. Exceptions would be food/beverage gigs like McLane, Gordon Food Service, and some grocery accts like Dollar store dedicated.

Take your boots off in the front of the cab to keep your sleeper clean longer. A cheap 12v car vac at Big lots and some cleaning wipes will help keep your space clean.

As far as the bnb...just stay in the truck and save your money for some nice r&r when you aren’t working.
