My Experinces At May Trucking

Thanks for giving me something to ponder;

At first I didn't read your post clearly, had semi/big rig on the brain and looked for them (2008 Ford SuperDuty's) on the net with the pedal assembly and saw what looked like what we drive, Ford F150. Then realized, oh, they don't make big rigs. hmmm. I can try & use the excuse that's it's late again and again, but am sure it doesn't fly every time.

So, searched for adaptive pedals and found some possibilities!!! Well, it's a start anyway. DOT approved !!! It's an automatic clutch system.

Now if I can get one for the gas & break pedals, I'll be sitting pretty. I could make my own. Part of my job includes adaptive technology, but I don't think I can get it to conform with DOT specs.
To be continued...

 

Congrats!!!!!

 

MGASELL,

Congratulations on passing and getting your own truck. I'll bet you are proud of your accomplishment. Take care of yourself and drive safely.

 

May fairly compensated for s/o's breakdowns lately. He stuck through the mud & the muck & made it through without blowing a gasket or walking off the job (stepping down safely, backwards) He has another truck and is driving once again. Wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. Kinda scary after a very small paycheck last week. Knock on wood!

 

MGASSEL,

Any updates on your over the road ventures as a solo driver?

 

What is the timeframe you need to give notice for hometime? Two weeks? Give them a home time for seven days off two weeks from now. Although, you'll be lucky if you get home on the day requested.

 

If I were you I wouldn't get too demanding for your time at home. One day a week off is what you get and your time with the trainer probably didn't include any days at home. If you are on a 90 day probationary period which most new employees are and they don't like your attitude or work ethics they might part ways with you. Stay focused on your job and look to make some money when starting out and don't complain to management.
