Good luck to the newbies, and I hope everything goes well! The only stupid question is the one you don't ask...
Ahh... Another repower in Ogallala, NE. Dropped my NICE 560- series, and picked up a SKIRTED 539! Looks like I will be driving the "lady"...
I have chained 5 times this season, three over Donner, once in Wyoming, once in Washington. Only once (Donner) was during 2011. (2011:once)
I haven't found a place that I can't get into yet, as a rookie. It doesn't turn quite as well as say, a Volvo, but hey... Who wants to be in one...
I have already made the decision that I am not going to chain. If it gets to that point, I will call dispatch and either tell them that the truck...

Good to hear! Good luck with all of the training and orientation, and welcome to the big, weird family we are a part of.
Still very unsure. I have no history with COPD, just found that page on the interwebs.
I am personally not sure, but I think I may have found the answer you didn't want to hear here....
Nope. Company drivers get paid the same amount for any mile they get paid to drive. (Which is usually a hair on the short side, but most...
Company drivers get paid deadhead and loaded miles the same. The only difference is for L/O, where they aren't getting paid the fuel surcharge...
YOU were the one who had an opinion to share on the matter... I was simply sharing mine as well. There are other companies that do not allow...
I wasn't on anyone's case, Flatbed... I was simply stating my opinion in a respectful manner. Just because my opinion is different than yours,...
