Considering TMC

When your parked at a truck stop watch how the open decks are backing and turning in the lots. Backing a 48000 lumber load into a spot takes a little more setup with spread axels then a set of tandems.

 

Most customers will let you park overnight. Your Qualcomm may have a notation on the notes or your fm ( fleet manager) should be able to find out for you. If you can't park on location get as close as you can being legal and in a safe area. When your with your trainer he/ she should be teaching you proper time management with your elog.

 

Ya, that seem to be the norm. Alot if truck stops have narrow lanes between the rows of parking which can be an issue with a spread axels.

 

Did you say you were accepted with TMC or just thinking about them?

 

Good deal, you should do fine there. I agree take care of that stone first. Life can be hell with them. I have never had to experience one of those however, when I was a younger man in construction one of my bosses had one or several. Just awful. Unless treating them has changed since then. Best of luck to ya.

 

Careful with TMC man, I had a real bad experience with them that I wrote about on here. Consider them VERY carefully
