This is one of the exact reasons I got into trucking. To be able to take little 34hr vacations all over the country. Pic is from outside the...
Thanks for all your help. Every post I've read has been insightful, even if I didn't agree. Same for most on this thread. Funny you mention Prime...
Called my coordinator this morning. Actually she called me first but I didn't answer. I called the logs and safety department and discussed with...
Thanks. I've taken notes of all the WTF moments and I've gotten some of our conversations on audio recording. It might be all for naught. All of...
Daly's in Buford, Georgia does. If you can't figure out shifting in the week they give you then you aren't going to pass.
So the update is I'm off the truck. I emailed my coordinator the reasons (she'll see that on Monday) and both me and my trainer called dispatch....
Agreed. As a mechanic in my former life I can't fathom why you'd want to wait until go-time to find out you need major service. Makes no sense.
Ha! I'm slow at those things and need a little extra time. I study my hazmat book off-duty also. The horror!
You're right. I'll hit up HR on Monday also if things aren't progressing. Thanks for the enouragement. I hope so too.
On a 34hr right now. Rolling later today so we'll see. I've requested a new trainer by email last night but have yet to hear back from my...
Thank you very much, sir.
Thanks for the blackberry tip. Also I heard all 2017 trucks will have toilets in place of the drivers seats. No holding tanks. Just open to the...
So, like the title says, who's is the hardest? Who's is the easiest? In-between? Squat twice your bodyweight to pass? Fog a mirror? Dry van...
Nice reply. Thank you. Maybe what I need is a trainer who can fully explain the why's and how's of the way things are done rather than just...
Longtime lurker here. Just an average guy trying truck driving as a second career. Hoping to get in some miles before the robots take over. Used...
I'm not sure the company fully realizes or condones what's being done. I'm hoping my trainer doesn't represent the company as a whole.
Not about pride. It's about not taking risks that aren't prudent to take. Especially as a newb.
Done and done. I'm just waiting to hear back from my training coordinator. I posted this to get some experienced drivers opinions and hopefully...
Tried. And I'll admit she has been letting me input the logs correctly for the last couple of days. Then we hit a 34hr reset and now she's mad...
Tried. SIte woudn't let me.
