Doesn't work that way - the company sent out a fleet-wide message a few months back about needing to tighten the belt and do a 5% pay cut...
Ah yes, the Irving shop. That place has quite possibly the slowest mechanics in the company and you can expect to be there for hours (sometimes...
PAM, PDS, AFS, CEX and Decker are all under the same company: PAM Transport. Solo's run at .25 a mile, which is a .03 drop from when I was in...
Pre-trip is easy. Just take the sheet they give you and after class, if there is a truck available, go over each section six or seven times to...
I'll respond to this by saying that it's one thing to "have a job". It's something completely different when you're only getting run 2300-2500...
You can go out 8/10 days if you choose, but don't expect to make any money that way. Expect more along the lines of 14-21 days out and two days...
PAM just threw out a 5% pay cut effective next week. For some of us who are working the 'dedicated' division {rofl}, it's a real kick below the...
You'll be lucky to break 1500. One thing you have to remember with the big carriers and it's what I've learned the hard way: If their lips are...
You're seeing those due to the lanes that just opened up for actual dedicated runs from michigan down to TN and KY. I'm supposedly on one of...
Most of the Freightliner trucks are keyed alike. Currently I'm using a key from a 2005 Century Class to unlock and start up a 2009 Cascadia.
1. There really isn't much difference between the two and both are entry-level companies. The pay-per-mile sucks no matter which one you go with,...
Provided that they have trainers available at PDS to pick both of you up, you'll spend anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks with an OTR trainer before...
Started in Lansing Monday morning with 1545, hard run down here to Laredo and dropped yesterday afternoon for another 1545. My partner and I...
Irving shop is the last place you ever want to get stuck. At any point they have like, 35 trucks waiting to get in and half the time, they don't...
IPod's are fine with PDS as long as you don't have it plugged into your ears, and if you're lucky, you'll get a truck with an aux-in jacked radio....
Possibly. Depends on how close the accidents were to one another and if he was on probation after the first incident. They've been...
Been driving for PDS for a little over eight months now and to be honest, it hasn't been the best experience I've ever had. Low miles, horrible...
