Conway driver apprentice program ?

Sounds good. I'll have the double/triple and at least the written portion of the HM done on Monday, so I'll give the terminal a call to give them the update and check on the status of my application. I appreciate the information man. Enjoy your weekend!

 

You too and good luck..

 

jakebrake got it right about the haz-mat, my hazmat was still waiting to get confirmed and they had no problem with that. i did however have doubles and trips for my license at the time. give them about a week before u confirm ur application status, which is what i did

 

I'll be curious to see what you think when you head out with a line-haul driver for a week.. You'll probably get to see Carstadt, NJ, Milton, Pa, and Hagerstown, Md - Carlstadt is easy but Hagerstown and Milton are two of the busiest, if not the two busiest terminals/FAC's in the entire country. I used to run Hagerstown and can say I've never seen another place like it - it's actually two separate terminals now. One is 166 doors and the other is like 145 doors.. Long run from Elmsford but I hope you get to see it in action..lol.. I do know Hagerstown is the heaviest volume terminal we have in the entire country..

 

wow u basically got everything, yea im training with the guy who does the hagerstown line haul, hes the most senoir person there so they asked him to train, and yes to the other two, do u go to n e of them, maybe i will c u out there

btw howd u no i was in elmsford

 

I've been to Elmsford a couple times and know where Hawthorne is so I figured that's where you were from. I took a year off from line-haul but I'll be back out next year so there's probably a good chance I'll see you somewhere.

I'll be curious to see what you think of Hagerstown - the place is a total zoo..haha.. I used to run there a few years ago. Are you training with Harry then? I know he's been running there for a long long time - I think he might have just hit 2 million safe miles.

 

lol just hawthorne is that town no ones nos about, even people in my county. Elmsford is known quite well tho. Yea i met harry on friday night, he was getting ready to head out so i went over to ask him a few questions about linehaul. Hes a cool guy and has been there the longest cuz one the guys there told me about him and how quite a few people want that route lol. harry then told me they had recently asked him to be the line haul trainer so i probly am then, if hes got those kind of miles then yea he should deff be the trainer

once i get to go to hagerstown ill deff let u no what i think of it, cant imagine that, ours is only 60 doors. but yea hopefully i will c u out there next yr then that would b cool, what r u doing there now i ur not doing linehaul this yr

 

The Lasalle, IL terminal is really big too with something like 200+ doors.

 

Yeah - that was just opened in the last year or two. That's the largest single terminal in our system I believe. Hagerstown is two separate ones that are about a 1/4 mile apart. I'm pretty sure one building is used for freight heading South and the other is for North freight.

 

well one more week till class starts, cant wait. get to do both p/d and linehaul. been gettin a lot of freight so im guessing ill get a lot of runs, especially since we also get a truckload company bring us a 53 footer everyday slam packed coast to coast. plus heard from some people YRC might be going under soon so thatll b more freight for us but a lot more work etc.

jakebrake, u can answer this, we had a guy pull a wrong trailer to our terminal, and i heard he doesnt get paid for that, is that true or no?
