sorry, no mud flap for you...but thanks for the memories.Another Canadian driver, Boondock and Vic Firth Thank this. -
My dad started with NAVL - general freight. Single axle cabover GMC Jimmy.
Another Canadian driver and Boondock Thank this. -
my first rig was a IH cabover with no power steering .
Wrecked it with one payment left .
i knew a few comtrans guys
I started and stayed with triple crown roadrailers , and liked it . Made good money and home almost every night.
They had way more loads than owner ops to haul them, we worked seven days a week and got paid a substantial bonus to work on weekends.
They opened a terminal near me to service the ford assembly plant.
A few years later When the ford plant closed things slowed down a lot and I bailed for other opportunities .Boondock, Another Canadian driver and buddyd157 Thank this. -
sorry, but i was hired by a trucking company, was as green as the grass, and really didn't know how many divisions NAVL had or that we got many loads, while some o/o's sat...........
my (i should say our as i had to run team) IH was a former o/o tractor, and as such, there was no trolly brake, and the jake brake was also disconnected...
i think if i recall, NAVL removed the trolly handle to force the o/o's to not burn up the trailer brakes, rather than to use ALL the brakes.
i'll never know why, the jake was disconnected.
those days are well behind me, but......it was still a learning experience.Boondock and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
I started as a O/O lease purchasing a IH cabover from navl working regional loads at the triple crown roadrailer terminals
i had recently attended a 10 week CDL class at a community college that has a cabover freightliner , and I had driven a single axle dump truck pulling a backhoe
I had never driven a big truck before , I bought a one way delta ticket to Ft Wayne and made it though their orientation and picked out a truck and they had me hitch up to an empty trailer to take back .
I stopped at the first truck stop and offered to buy a nice dinner to any driver who’d show a new rookie what I needed to know about the truck .
some older guy was super nice , showed me how to drain the air tanks , etc
I made $5000 profit after insurance and fuel and truck payment the first month .
The job I quit I was making $850 a month.
So saving money was no problem .kemosabi49 Thanks this.
