Most Important Questions From New Drivers Threads

Probably depends on the extreme you're willing to go to, I think the verizon mifi device is the closest thing you will find to an 'at home' type connection. It also has a decent monthly cost to go along with it as well. I use pdanet sometimes in a pinch and it works find for sporadic use but too much I've heard can damage the processor on your phone.

 

really damage the processor...hmmm that's not good.....looking into Verizon's mobile USB thingy (technical term)

Thanks AT for more good info....hope your well.

JB is hiring intermodal regional. 5 days out 2 days off(tue and wed). Is JB ok and is there many pitfalls to intermodal?

 

the only thing I know about JB is they RAPE drivers DAC reports when they leave, but they have no problem removing what ever they put on IF you come back to work for them......

Thanks I need all the information I can get. I don't want to make an uninformed decision. I have 12 mos. flatbed experience 4 months dry van. Two, 5mph over speeding tickets one in a car and one in a big truck, some bumps and scraps in the load/unload areas, nothing on the road. Still working for this company but want to get away from the tarps. Any suggestions?

 

I've seen a couple of ads for small flatbed companies that say they avoid tarps or don't have them at all. Just keep an eye on the papers, or internet.

 

Thanks kajidono. I'll check it out.
