With a large fleet, things happen. I understand it is not my job, but if I can help I will. Both times I recovered trucks I was paid very well for...
I would recommend not downgrading your license. 60-80$ every two years to keep it active. Never know when it will come in handy.
Depending on why you have to recover. A driver gets hurt or has a family emergency, probably not that big of a deal. I recovered one from a driver...
I drove for Caremark here in North Carolina for a few weeks with a temp service. Nice people and a good job, but the hours are horrendous. 2-230...
Little late, but standing in the yard watching newer students do the maneuvers would help. Just talk to yourself about what he/she should do next,...
I use to show my students that I could go from a stop in 1st gear to 35 MPH in 7th gear without the throttle. The engine will apply fuel to keep...
When I first got with my trainer at TMC, my backing was horrible. We had a afternoon off, couldn't pickup till next morning. Parked at a large...
Cheap little Walmart microwave will last a couple years. I have bought three of them over ten years. Never had one die, gifted one to a new driver...
Biggest reason I see you having problems is the truck abandonment. Companies can overlook a lot of stuff, but someone who will leave a 150,000$...
When I came off the road from a mega, I worked for a temp service for a couple months. Got to try lots of different jobs, places were always...
When I was with TMC, I took the truck home for anything under 2 weeks off. They had enough trucks in the yard if needed. Only time I cleaned out...
I had to recover a truck when I was with TMC ( I was broke down ), when I got to the wrecker yard, I pulled 11 bags of trash out of the truck just...
Are you sure the brakes are being engaged, or just the lights. I had a new Pete 579 that if the engine brake was activated ( lifting off the gas)...
Just do the pretrip properly. You are being tested on doing a proper pretrip, not being tested on the vehicle serviceability. If the def tank is...
No way a new driver should be driving the night shift. When I trained I would have the trainee drive first thing in the morning after a decent...
Doesn't work like that any more. If you go to a school, you have to put in the 160 hours. period. If you show up with a dot physical and permit,...
If you keep your head down and minimize the expenditures, leasing is not bad right now with the right company. Fuel is thru the roof and rates are...
Worked for this company for about 14 months running HotShot. Nice, small company running mostly flatbed Hotshots and full sized trucks. Only...
we are putting 9-11K on our skateboards a week. Fuel is eatting into the profits but the drivers are doing pretty good. Our hotshot trucks are...
Drove big trucks for 8 years and had two clean DOT inspections. Ran hot shot for 14 months and had 11 DOT inspections. They love pulling hotshots...
