It sounds like the North Slope is the only place that has this in terms of driving jobs. That could be something, and I really was considering...
Thanks. When I started the thread, I had trucking jobs in mind. I think the merchant marine idea requires some qualifications that I don't have.
Where would you suggest I look for an employer willing to work with me on this?
I mean I figured out the 10 speed in CDL school enough to pass a DMV test, but it certainly wasn't pretty, and would definitely be a nightmare...
I did CDL school through a community college in 2017 and we drove 9-speeds and 10-speeds in the class, and for the DMV exam. I passed my test, got...
A CDL job offshore?
Don't those automated transmissions have a manual mode where you control the shifting with a press of a button?

Yeah I've noticed that too in my research that oilfields companies are very fond of driver-facing cameras. I'd think it'd be less so than with OTR...
I haven't done what you're talking about (yet). I'm seriously considering it right now, which is why I clicked on your thread. I've been out of a...
Eaton Cummins Endurant XD Pro. It carries an unlimited Gross Combined Weight Rating and can be built with up to six reverse gears for long backing...
Are there jobs besides the ones on the North Slope that are 3/3 or even 4/4? I live abroad, and it doesn't make much sense for me to do a hitch...
Just wondering which US companies drive up into Canada most often? I'm not taking just running to Winnipeg - but rather north of Edmonton and beyond.
Just another OTR McCompany. And this was probably after waiting 15 hours to get loaded at some dumb cold storage warehouse.
They're in my tier A contact list. Thanks for flagging that post again though. The part you mentioned about hiring with a long gap is definitely...
What were your miles when you didn't have any mechanical problems? What were the yellow flags you had regarding reefer? I might need a reminder...
Must be living in a restricted community in Nevada. Something in the water.
1800 miles per weeks at 50cpm is rough. I'm dying to know what the yellow flags were at the reefer company orientation you went to. Personally...
I don't blame you for not wanting reefer. Chinatown posted Redbone at the top of this page, but the link shows nothing but reefer trailers. How...
Well I'm planning to move back to the USA sometime in the next 6 months or so and go back to OTR living, which I did for 3 years a few years ago....
