This post should be titled “How to get other people to pay for trucking school.”
Always get it in writing. They can say whatever they want, and it’s your word vs their word when it comes down to it. You need a written contract...
Graduated from a 4 year university program intent on going to law school afterwards. Took some time off to work, and eventually realized that I...
You can always opt to do the “Build your own slam” at Denny’s. Pick any 4 slam items for around $8, plus you can add 2 extra items for a small...
I bought a 6” thick memory foam mattress at IKEA for about $40. I put that on top of the spring mattress that came in the truck, and eventually...
I always said I would never take a job with a driver facing camera, because it constituted a major invasion of my privacy (married couple driving...
Did you seriously just go back to a post I made in April and call it “old news”? The article I linked to was a whopping 12 hours old when I posted...
Yes, I’m driving as a team. No, it’s not easier to stop to eat because a) we have quite a tight schedule and b) we want to be home, not eating in...
I’m in a similar position. It doesn’t bother my stomach to eat that stuff but I will gain weight. I spent about 6 months with a glucometer testing...
I have read up on this very subject, and you’re quite right. Through a series of n=1 experiments I know that I am super intolerant of all refined...
I see your point, although I’m not sure I agree that it’s the cause of the phenomenon. There are McDonald’s everywhere in the world. I think all...
Since when are British drivers (or any EU citizens) not allowed to operate in the USA with a Canadian company? My first job in New Brunswick had...
Not saying I believe this to be true, but what’s the problem? A 5’11” man at 180lbs is classified as overweight, by BMI. Clearly there are...
I drive team now, so literally only in the bunk for sleeping or a bit of reading and then 11 hours of driving. When I was a single driver, I had...
It’s not affecting me in any way. The hours of service haven’t changed. I run my logs as efficiently as I know how: keep the driver’s door...
You didn’t work there and your friend didn’t work there. You don’t detail what the “liar liar liar liar” actually lied about, just that a...
I always clock a minimum of 10-11 hours per shift, and frequently clock more in a 24 hour period (by only taking my 10 off). I don’t ever take...
Every company I’ve worked for prior to this one had a combination age/mileage to return (all leased units). Leases were 4 years, up to 500,000...
As a team, even a new team, 4700 miles a week is nothing to get excited about. In your full 70 hours, a single driver can legally clock a little...
I’m inclined to believe these are 2 different people. My (already limited) faith in humanity would be shattered if the first poster subjected us...
