Cargo Transporters Claremont, NC

It affects some drivers different I guess.
I couldn't care less what they see on that Camera. If I need to break hard then I break hard. If it sets the Drivecam off Tuff s***! No camera is gonna dictate how I drive! I try my best to be a safe driver. Always have, Cam or no cam. I've had weeks I've set mine off 5 times! Never heard a word about it because I didn't do anything wrong. Drivers need to understand that setting off the drivecam is not the end of life on earth. S*** Happens. It's unavoidable that stupid people will make you break or swerve hard. Happens in your car and it's gonna happen in your truck. They can see what happened so there's nothing for me to say about it. And it's the reason I rarely hear about it. 90% of the time I had to do what I had to do to avoid an Accident. And they can see that at drivecam. I'll do what I've always done and not worry about the small stuff. If I'm doing it wrong then I'm sure they will have no problem telling me about it.

 

I did one load by hand and one with a cart. It doesn't happen often enough to really be a concern for most people.
Very little NYC itself. Mostly on the outskirts. $125 extra if you take the load. I never run NE so I'm never concerned with it. But it's up to you if you wanna take the load or not. Vacation pay is two cents per mile for every mile you drove the last 6 months. You just let your fleet leader know when you want to take it and he'll plan for you to be off that week. Vaction pay is paid twice per year REGARDLESS of when you take the vacation. 2nd week of June and 2nd week of December.

 

About 2,400 miles this week. Could have done another 500 or so but Nestle took 6.5 hours to load me so burnt most of my 14. They were however kind enough to let me take my 10 hour in the back parking lot. Nothing to brag about but all said not too bad of a week.

 

Well glad Taylor took care of you.
Yes, As long as you can wait for a trainer. We have about 16 trainers at Cargo and we have a 38% turnover rate which is almost unheard of in this Industry. Most companies average around 90%. We only have around 500 trucks so remember we are not a huge company with lots of idle trainers like some of the bigger companies do. Drop in here during and after your training and let us know how it works out for you. It's great info for rookies to have.
