I thought about doing something like that at one point when I had a kenworth with no top bunk or storage up top. It was a high roof sleeper too. I...
My truck is a 23 and it has a single bed but there is extra storage shelves instead of a top bunk which I think kinda makes up for not having a...
We do have trainers for inexperienced drivers, but you'll have to ask a recruiter about that. I'm not sure if we're actively hiring trainees at...
I run OTR and the east coast is the area I run the least (unless you count Florida). When I get loads to Florida I usually go northwest or West...
They do have hazmat loads. I don't have the endorsement myself so I can't speak to how common they are.
If you came to IRT you wouldn't have to worry about the pumps at all if you choose. They don't give you a pump truck unless you specifically ask...
I think every single pump load I've done was yeast except for once when I pumped off some cooking wine. There was a time when I delivered...
I have a pump truck and like Redtwin said we do very little pumping so I don't get a lot of those loads. I've probably pumped less than 10 times...
I don't know why so many of them are saying they sit around and don't get paid for it. They must have just assumed they don't get paid for sitting...
I asked about that. We do have a few trucks with APUs but the drivers that have them don't really use them and would rather idle the truck so...
Some of the other runs I've had since I started in October: Headland, AL to Houston, TX NJ to Davenport, IA Cedar Rapids, IA to Commerce, CA...
I've never experienced incompetence from people in the office. They are generally very nice and understanding. Sometimes you get loads with...
I don't remember if he said anything about driver facing cameras. Just the fact that they would constantly monitor his camera recordings and call...
I talked to a driver at IRT that used to work at Oakley and he said they were constantly getting on to him about his driving on the camera. Guy...
If only they could convert some of these autos to manual for us. They are still manuals after all, just computer controlled. Yeah, no I'm dreaming...
I couldn't agree more. They'd have a lot more happy drivers if they had some manuals in the fleet. They can keep automatics for the newer drivers...
That's what mine was doing before I took it in, and they said they had to replace the shifter. Also you can still skip gears if you tell it to...
He's gotta make sure everyone knows he's a real trucker.
I've had the turn signal/wiper stalk and the shifter both replaced and my truck only has a little over 100k miles.
Yeah they told me I could park there in Tempe but they don't have a driver bathroom, just a porta potty. I prefer not to do #2 in a porta potty if...
