I didn't realize it was getting bad out there. My husband does LTL and hasn't noticed anything but he did hear that hiring had slowed a bit.
You're totally right about that first one. He's learned now! His trainer was using cruise control everywhere and taught him to use it. That same...
The cop was saying he should have slowed down even further when the lights came on. He was already going 35 in a 55, and thought the cop was...
Just the 7 months at Schneider, all OTR. He went through a trucking school at the local community college.
I'm sending him the links as I see them, and he's applying now. Thank you so much!!
He says that he has, but he hasn't put school bus on anything. He's just been putting "company policy".
Yes! He'll be 24 this fall. I'll tell him, thank you!!
He's been on the phone with them twice so far. First one to follow up that someone got the application and the second one was a recruiter who...
I kinda figured as much! They really drilled it into him at training to call in whenever a cop is involved, even if there's no ticket. He thought...
It definitely appears to be a little slow where we are. Even listings on Indeed for local stuff have dried up. He's applied to Lily Transport and...
He hates social media/forums, I guess. He's been on the phone and running around to submit applications, do drug tests and get his medical card...
Stevens Transport says he needs three months experience somewhere else first because he was terminated.
Posting for my son who started with Schneider - last update was here. (One month update on the kid and Schneider ) He finally got his dedicated...
Interesting - and makes a lot of sense! He got the Aurora run just barely. They wanted someone within 100 miles of Carlisle and our address is...
Lol. He's been there for over 15 years now. He was at Estes for a few years before that. I think the kid is hoping to get on with them in a few years.
You're totally right! Hubby drives for ODFL - and hears it all day long from coworkers and on the CB. He's tried telling the kid to wait it out....
Exactly. Got good news, though! Someone just called him back and he now has a tractor number, a rental car reserved, and he's off to Indy again on...
That's definitely a thought! Lol.
Normally, I wouldn't mind if he took some time to wait but he can't wait much longer for a paycheck. He just got someone to answer the phone and...
Long story, short - it hasn't gotten much better. Schneider put him in a hotel in Charlotte and got him settled in to training. He wasn't on the...
