Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Never heard of it before! That place does sound fishy.....must get max detention there!

 

Nursery liad?
You will find out once you start delivering your stops.

 

It's all going to Bachmans in Farmington, MN. Saw signs saying loading could take 6 hours but I guess I lucked out on both ends.

 

If you're pissed a broker screwed you now, just wait.

 

Lmao, the “cool kids” have almost all left the company...

 

I got my truck washed at blue beacon about 2 hours ago. Now I'm sitting in the flying j parking lot. Slowly on my way home... Getting cleaned up and some food.

There is a guy wandering the parking lot in a blue beacon hat and shirt. He approached me and asked how my wash went (it's been about 2 hours). I told him it went well. He said he's the manager and would like to look over my truck real quick if I don't mind. I say sure.

So he checks everything out and says there are a few spots that could have been done better... Mentioned several specific things. Then gave me a card for $10 of my next wash.

Gimmick or not, blue beacon is an A+ establishment in my opinion. Always the fastest and most thorough.

 

Can anyone comment on how it is to drive line haul, local P&D, or regional out 5 days home 2 out of Coon Rapids, MN? I'm moving to Minneapolis and considering getting into trucking so I'm starting to look at some companies. I plan to get my CDL from a school rather than company training.

 

you mean....I was a trend setter? Who knew....

This wouldn't happen to be the Beacon in Oak Grove MO would it? A friend said they had him pull just outside the bay, and the manager came out with a towel and wiped down his truck and did a similar inspection...only his was clean. I've seen a couple guys in Beacon shirts walking that same lot he was in a time or two...maybe there is a contest to see which location can get the fewest complaints.

 

Zelek, I really can’t answer about our line haul or regional. I can tell you that they are starting a school at Coon Rapids and can give you contact info for the person responsible if you’d like it.

 

There are few LTL companies that will take someone without experience. I dont know if magnum does or not, we are self insured so the chances are higher. Usually if they take on a rookie, its in a dock to driver program. You work the dock for x months then move into a truck. Every program is different. Holland has you work the dock until you get your license. Dayton moves you into a class b after dock for a year, then a class a. Youll want to read the fine print because you will be signing a contract. But like the person that got me started on this path, its not a bad way to make a living and he works for R&L p&d. I myself am interested in getting into LTL, helps having all my endorsements.
