YRC/Yellow is seniority based. You will be on the extra board when you start new, probably for a few years as anyone that was hired before you...
For the 1.5 years I was OTR, the only door knockers I had were either angry employees telling me I can't sleep on their property, or angry...
Rarely would I ever do a reset on the road. Always at home terminal. You shouldn't have to if you run recaps or just don't want to go home. Now if...
if you arent grossing at minimum $60k as a local driver then you're being royally screwed. $18.5hr x 40hrs x 52 weeks = $38,480 gross..You did...

Probably tried to rob him when he got in the truck, and when the driver refused, decided to stab him to death. Don't let anyone get in your truck,...
I only have 3 years but I still enjoy it. It's good money and don't have to be around people often. My day always goes by fast. In fact the...

I was denied a job because of a few minor incidents (scratch on truck/clipped mirror) on my DAC report. MVR/PSP are both clean. They said I have...
Not really related to "bad parking", but NEVER park in a corner spot if there's parking adjacent to you. I made this mistake at a Love's in Iowa...
The new 2021 t680 kenworth's has a loud buzzer that goes off if you set the trailer brakes but not the tractor brakes. This makes it a pain to...
