Driver facing cameras and draconian safety policies. I'd only work for them as a last resort.
I never back the dolly under the trailer. I spot it directly in front of the rear trailer with the tractor then go get the lead trailer. some...
Was that call from a recruiter or a TM? Usually a recruiter will call you first and ask you a few simple questions about your license and...
It is different. You have the camera directly in your face. A grocery store employee doesn't have the camera in his face. Drivers vote with...
Just because you can't drive while using a bluetooth headset doesn't mean the rest of us can't. It's legal to use. I wont work for a company...

I run a 650+ mile turn. The trick is finding something engaging to listen to, or talk to people on the Bluetooth. I'm not much of a talker so I...
