You can actually stay On Duty in perpetuity (well, maybe not THAT long) so long as once you’re off, it’s 10 hours until you’re on again. I’ll try...
Why wait 2-3 years? Apply as soon as you see a posting. Small terminals for large carriers are where it’s at. My ODFL terminal has 11 drivers. 9...
They took my existing physical, but I had just renewed a couple days before I applied…
You should ask about any IRC Freight unless you’re on a scheduled run. They’re sorting and shipping like twice the amount of freight as RTO right now.
Someone else asked too, but which terminal? The hubs that hired a ton of drivers 2-3 years ago seem to be the slow spots. The small terminals...
I think that’s called Active Drive Assist. I use that too, especially because the closing/opening rate has a lot to do with whether or not that...
I got my CDL with an automatic restriction and spent my first 14 months in a governed 65mph auto transmission truck, and relied on adaptive cruise...
The problem with the ELDT requirements is that states have various freedoms to interpret them as they see fit, which is wildly confusing....
I used CDL genie. There’s a free version, but it’s best to use the paid version, and then cancel it after a month. I spent about two weeks on my...
You are right that there are disqualifying felonies, but it’s not all encompassing. Possession, traffic (in the case of a non-driver), even DV...
Not to sound like the typical know-it-all, but this is categorically untrue. As I said, my previous company held the Mayflower and United...
not super uncommon, even at a mega. I got my CDL through a contract partner with Swift. Our class started with 17, and we had 6 by test day. Most...
oh! Update, the guy they hired to replace me at that company has an SAP too,
I think the contractor has to be, not necessarily the drivers under them? I’m not sure how it all works. I drove for a small moving company that...
Look into Van Lines, like an Allied or United contractor. I’ve heard most are SAP, felon, whatever other issues you might have, friendly.
May and Western Express are the two megas known for hiring felons. Honestly, after that maybe look into a Van Lines contractor. I worked for a...
You shouldn’t, but I’ve heard some of them rope you into smaller commitments for the “training period” where you drive with a “trainer” for...
I’m aware. I think about it every time I’m on a roadtrip with my family and I’m stuck alongside a tractor-trailer.
You gotta be trolling!
I don’t know a lot about teams other than they get paid. I have no idea what the schedule or mileage expectations are. There’s some Atlanta guys...
