ISO New CDL A, Team driving out of Yuma, AZ

I didn't say companies don't pre-screen passengers. Some aren't as strict as others.
I pulled hazmat tankers 48 states and Canada and could take the wife or child. Just had to fill out a simple basic form is all. In the tanker situation, have to leave the passenger at the security office while unloading or loading.
Keep it simple and don't overthink.

 

One issue we've seen on this forum is some drivers don't know when to stop talking. They're offered good jobs, but keep talking and volunteering information that isn't asked for. Finally, they're told, "Well, we've found another driver that's more qualified, so aren't going to hire you."
Some hiring managers have said, "This guy just won't shut up!"

 

She’s just starting out and you’re suggesting for her to bend the rules at her 1st place of employment. And your reasoning is “ Because it’s tough out here “ I’am sure you can help her get another job If she gets caught bending the rules . Maybe with one of those Crapcagoland 1099 companies

 

Geeze, have some coffee.

 

I’am talking from experience there’s no going back once you start bending rules
As the saying goes ….Live by sword Die by the sword

 

The last thing one needs to do is bend the rules. I worked for a company w/ a zero tolerance for passengers. They terminated a driver for letting his wife spend the night in the truck while he was taking a rest break near his hometown. Most of the companies I worked for who have a rider policy need to know who you'll be riding in that truck. 9 times out of 10, if his criminal background is preventing him from getting hired then he won't be able to pass the pre-screen for the rider policy. Her boyfriend will only be one call away if she gets lonely... or she could just find a new boyfriend without the blemishes on him record; he could provide emotional support from the passenger seat, read her bed time stories and feed her grapes during break.

 

I'd be careful talking to that dude about swords.!.. He just mentioned something about. " Don't ask, don't tell " in an earlier post...

 

For the record, telling a newbie to " bend the rules". Before they ever even get a job in this industry is about the stupidest. Dam advice I've ever heard!... I guess That's what we should Expect from Someone who sings the praises of a Communist S hole country every time he gets the chance!

 

Forget to take your meds today?

 

What's with so much virtue signaling? People that do that often have skeletons in the closet.
Anyway, I'll stop this senseless banter and move on.
