I'm in dallas yard right now. I got here 5am an at 12:30am I was all cleared. That was the fastest time ever. Smokr: good luck.
I know it doesn't belong here but I thought I'll put it here as a warning for other married drivers who think and hope that nothing can happen to...
I-10 from TX to AL ~560 miles, 62 mph (where legal), 70,000 lbs..... 8.8 MPG! So yes, I'd say T660 with cummins kicks some MAJOR butt! :yes2557:
I have to correct a little mistake I put here saying that I have to run 2200 miles/wk to break even. Last two trips I scanned were only 1800 miles...
That's simply the fuel surcharge + Stevens Discount at your fuel stops (optistop). You shouldn't pay more than $1.25/gal they say.
Pretty much right. I'm counting $2200 miles/wk to break even just to be safe. Also, if you're taking hometime off too often, you'll be told in...
Read over this thread. The training program is explained in detail here many times. You can take your truck home even as a company driver but...
To admin: Seriously. c.r.a.p. blanked out???? I thought I'm on trucker's forum not on family channel pre-school one.
Big 10/4 on that. Absolutely no home life for long periods of time. It begins to bother me more and more. I was home only for 7 days in last 8...
Stevens has established an escrow account for maintenance. Everytime I get paid, part of it goes there. I was really thankful that I have it a...
Naaah. Count 10,000 miles, you'll take home ~3,500 - 4,500 before tax. Depends on how much you spend (or save) on fuel. Easy formula: $0.40x...
I haven't been with the Alliance long enough to answer this one. Yes. It covers all the above and then some. There are 3 mileage based charges....
Opportunity yes. Reality is different for each individual. Look at Lea. She can afford to stay home for 10 days and average pretty decent...
I wish you luck Lea. I got lucky only because my new 660 got returned the morning I got on the yard. Had to wait almost a WEEK before they...
Yea. That's exactly what I'm saying. All Petes and T660s are black. All T2000s and Freightliners are blue. Whether they are company or alliance...
I have to brag a little now ;) Just a week ago they took my old 07 Pete with 436000 miles and gave me almost new KW660 with 49000 miles with...
It ain't Black=Alliance, Blue=Company. It is Black=All Peterbilts and KW660s, Blue= everything else.
I can speak only from my experience. My trainer started teaching me to float gears second day on his truck. AFAIK everyone's floating.
If your CDL isn't expired, I don't see any reason why you'd have to go through CDL school again. During orientation, before you'll get your...
