    The 8 hour break stops the 14 hour clock, the 2 hour break does not stop the 14 clock. And yes you can combine the 30 min break into the 2 hour break.

    Or did she replace the guy? I sent in my app on Monday and sent an email to him. You would think that they would contact a driver with nearly five yrs experience and a good record.

    Hello,

    The new driver in question is me.. I *really* like the NE spot (not gonna lie, an extra $.10 is pretty nice,) but pretty much anything y'all would care to pass on would be much appreciated. I'm new to the industry and, as I told MD, am not exactly certain of the questions I should be asking...

    Hope to hear from you!
    TRD

    Send me a PM here with who you sent the email to and I will be glad to touch base with him to see if we can encourage a response.

    I do know they seem busy lately and one of them has taken over the Orientation duties as well so they might be a bit swamped.

    Glad to hear we might have another one helping out too... Always a good thing.

    I was told we couldn't get blue beacon truck washes...that is what the wash bay is for? Did you have to get someone's permission?

    There... I fixed that for you.
    I guess they just like me better... :rolleyes:

    Ok... Ok... They don't really like me better...
    Well, they won't admit to it anyway...

    We get one put on the truck after each PM.

    Or I slipped one passed someone...
    But dang it ol' 1405 is looking fine... :cool:
