    I don't even think I'd go so far as to say they would like you to have doubles and hazmat. I don't think they care one way or another at all. W/S only pulls a handful of placarded hazmat loads a year, and if you want to pull doubles, you have to get in line. There's a nice waiting list last I checked.

    Allow? try Expect. You'll definitely get to go over some passes in the truck.

    some passes he lives in Co., everytime he comes off of hometime hell just pick one.
    real talk my second run with w/s was over lookout pass; 9:00 at night and snowing never in my wildest dreams that I could make this ish. Even today I could not tell you how that pass look in the day time wierd right.
    Long story short four ways on going up, same thing going down other truckers will most likely respect that. plus I did get on the cb, If your new to this even the most hardcore trucker can mess his pants on these roads. this business is like when animals attack, u pet the lion twice and the third time your missing four fingers.
    2 questions anybody do they cover road groves in the ten day class cause Am I the only one who had a problem with this my first 3 weeks.
    and last but not least are schools telling students now that once hired they will be driving the pity not able to trust you routes till you get some exp or you will get repowered before a pass.

    Wait until you've had the pleasure of working for an even smaller company that cares about it's drivers bottom line.

    "Optional" safety meeting, with hourly pay ($12 an hour). Clock starts when you leave the house. And a hot breakfast for all who attend.:yes2557:

    Rednek... I only know of 1 guy that didn't make it, he knocked down a power pole in the yard / by the shop. Just try not to run over anyone or thing and you'll make it.
