There are some trucks that are pretty awful. Most are taken out of service for parts or rebuilt if they have less than 500k miles. They only keep...
Another thing that was not mentioned which is probably the same for other companies is they put you up in a hotel and give you lunch and dinner...
I went to Sage to get my CDL. They're pretty good but they could be better. At the school I went to you only pulled empty 53' vans. They teach you...
I don't like showing anything more than my company photo ID but good luck picking up a tank of hazmat chemicals without showing a d/l. My ss# is...
I don't tailgate either. Our trucks are governed at 63. :\ It takes a long time and an "overspeed" message to pass someone.
If you decide to go with company training, please do everything you can do to get your CDL before signing up. You usually will not have to sign...
Just an FYI, if you already have your CDL you do not need to go through Schneider's basic course (2 weeks). You go through their ADTC advanced...
Yes and I have 2 grandchildren also. When we pull hazmat we are told to never stop for anything such as this. Cruel? maybe. Inhumane? maybe....
Some Pilots aren't that bad. The Whitepine, TN pilot just north of Knoxville is ok.
I've always been pretty good with backing but I can't nail it in one shot every time. Pull-ups are free, go-arounds are free take as many as you...
Sorry to hear about your loss. God bless you and your family. I have to say something on the truck. It's possible this truck did not hit your...
Man you guys got it easy. We're allowed 40% idle in summer/winter and 30% idle in spring/fall.
Canada also has a 36 hour reset rule where US has a 34.
We're not allowed to split break.
I like running an HIT tank. Have to idle all night with no penalty. :) If it gets to the point where I can't idle or run an apu and have to...
Surprised they didn't have a math test: (por favor circula la respuesta correcta) 1 + 1 = ( uno + uno =) A. 2 (dos) B. 2 (dos) C. 2 (dos)
Seems like everyone involved with trucking knows this except the idiots who make the laws. But seeing as they have never stepped foot-one in a...
When we rolled through TN on 75 we made sure to use a lower gear to dump as much polution into the air as possible. Absolutely rediculous when you...
I filed 4 online apps and 2 responded. One I called back and said they "were just entering in the app as I called".
Hit it with lots of Lysol or equiv disinfectant. Wear the shower shoes. I got a couple pair at walmart for a buck.
