Keep in mind that a lot of companies won't allow passengers with a CDL. Just something to consider if you're not going to be able to train her...
Think about it this way. If a company pays $500 per day layover and $30 per hour detention, what are they telling you? I'd say they're telling you...
I don't think job hopping is as big of an issue as some might believe, provided you're actually hopping from one job to the next with no break...
Sounds like this "company" is operating illegally and breaking numerous laws in the process. Also, and I don't say this in a disparaging way, you...
Don't rule out too many options in the beginning. I get not wanting to go with Western Express but new drivers are Swifts' bread and butter. They...
Don't feel too bad. You can't see who you're talking to in an online forum. Plenty of drivers make that same mistake every day in the dimly lit...
I got my start with Werner in 2022 as a solo OTR driver. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. There was a female driver in my...
I vaguely remember seeing something like that at Heartland Express last year. But they require recent experience and I think they shifted a lot of...
You might be able to pull it off with a regional position, Mid-South comes to mind, but those are harder to come by these days, even for drivers...
Did you bring your partner with you or did Werner pair you with someone?
What's the mileage like these days?
That's nothing. They shouldn't have even given you grief when it happened, much less now. If replacing a single cord is such a big deal to them,...
Both of mine were white but I really couldn't tell you much about them other than they were International LTs and they constantly gave me problems.
I worked there in 2022 and they had inverters, but the truck was programmed to shut off if the outside temperature wasn't above or below a certain...
I could see that. But the OP said they got in trouble for busting the line. Broken lines on a truck are pretty hard to pin on a driver unless...
When you say you busted an electrical line, are you talking about on the truck itself or a power line? I'm assuming it's on the truck because you...
My advice is to stick it out IF YOU CAN. But you've got enough experience to go elsewhere if you can't. With that said, snapping on the guy...
There are Federal and state guidelines for obtaining and maintaining a CDL. Individual states can set their standards higher than the Feds do on...
It differs from state to state, but the time to have done something about it is probably passed. A guy I know got a DUI years ago that would have...
That's what I thought. I suppose it might make sense for a newer driver to team for a company. The starting CPM is pretty low, so the difference...
