My co pays for and insists that every load is scaled either at the shipper or a TS. I do a T-Check or the TCH card so it's no skin off my back....
You are right about the TA's, all over the map. The one in Wheeler Ridge at the N end of the Grapevine is awesome, but many are dumps with surly...
I had to move my 5th wheel forward as my drives were at 34300. I was at 11900 on the steers before I moved the 5th wheel. I heard you could go to...
I'm getting to know my new to me KW 900 and am having a hard time keeping the drive/steer axles legal with much more than half full tanks. I...
I have only been driving for 1.5 years now. I did the Swift/ USA Truck mega carrier thing. I'm glad it's over as I lucked into a small (130 truck)...
My adventure came to an end at USA when I turned in the truck on May 3. I'm now working for a small reefer carrier, Bhandal Brothers out of...
Well, I have been at my new co for almost two weeks now and really like the kicked back atmosphere vs the the mega carrier mentality. Seeing as...
I know options are few when you are starting out, I only have 1.5 years and have been blessed with a job with a small co. I started with Swift in...
yes, it's that simple. Trucking can be hard enough with all the time away from home to have to deal with truckers acting like four wheelers.
Thanks k7 for all of this valuable info. Scanners being illegal is just another example of the erosion of our liberties from big government. I run...
Do you have the batteries for the BT250? Mine is getting weaker after 1.5 years of hard use. thanks
I agree rachi, I will go local or back to telecom if the opportunity arises.
I like your "truck route"! Reminds me of the goat tracks I drove down when I was in the oilfield in my 4x4, I really miss the driving part of that...
Nancy, not sure where you live, but if you are out west, you might be interested in a co I'm going to. No qc or DAC + loose leaf logbooks. PM if...
This is what trucking has become, a dumping ground for the unemployed and with one small incident, you are virtually done. I see chewed up...
Wow!! I used to be out of the Fontana terminal when I drove for Swift. We had a guy come in at Mira Loma with all of this great stuff about being...
Cheap Disposable Labor=Wheel Monkey=Cheap Meat in the Seat :biggrin_25523:
Nancy, from your posts, you seem to be a very careful and diligent driver. I doubt you will have problems finding another job. Try to go to a...
USA is phasing out the 9400's, you will most likely end up in a Prostar with a 10 speed auto, but you could end up in a T660. Seen a few Cascadias...
Well, I got home yesterday afternoon. While waiting to get in the gate of the drop yard I met a lady leaving in a USA truck. She said the yard was...
