Celadon driver here that's currently enjoying a 2 week paid vacation. It really does work they way they said. Every 30K you get a week added on.
It was supposed to be paid out on the second paycheck in December . The second paycheck came and no bonus. When drivers started asking questions...
They decided to cancel the holiday bonus that drivers were working towards all year and didn't even have the courtesy to tell anyone . That should...
I second this recommendation. I bought this dash cam to replace a Cobra that just decided to stop working one day. I couldn't be happier with it....
I would recommend going with the reefer fleet if you can. You get a nicer truck (Pete 579 vice ProStar) and you get paid if you are stuck waiting...
You can 45 it at the Indy terminal as well.
If you are at Greenfield I would recommend trying to get in the dorm as soon as you can. The shuttle bus tends to become a free for all of pushing...
If you are going to be a company driver the trucks are equipped with auto start systems. The sleeper HVAC and inverter run off the battery and the...

They would be more useful if fewer drivers used them to do nothing but piss and moan about other drivers. They are useful as a super trucker...
There are pros to reefer depending on the company. I work for the reefer fleet and we get some perks that the dry van side doesn't Pete 579's...
Carolina Cargo is the one I hear about a lot. Once you get to the ten year mark from your date of conviction a lot more opportunities will open up.
I just saw a Celadon truck hauling a Knight trailer not sure if that really means anything. I have also been seeing a lot of PTL trailers in the...
If you need more shopping options you can catch the bus that goes down Post Rd in front of the school. It will take you to a mall and a bunch of...
The Prostars that my company uses has a light test mode. You just hold in the work light switch for a few seconds while the engine is off and it...
Well I have now been sitting at the terminal for a month waiting on a trainer. I am running out of money, bills are coming due, and the only...
