My journey with Jim Palmer Trucking

Crete downgraded from Omnitracs to Peoplecrap because they said Omnitracs was not upgrading their software to be compliant with the ELD mandate. Until 2019, our Omnitracs equipment was legal due to grandfathering.

I strongly suspect that the old Omnitracs hardware could not be upgraded to modern ELD requirements, and Crete chose to buy cheap garbage Peoplenet rather than make a sound investment in new Omnitracs hardware.

But I do not know this for sure. Not familiar enough with ELD hardware, but I doubt very seriously that Omnitracs plans on simply dropping out of the ELD market completely in 2019.

 

What's the deal with our current driver's license ? I am from NY and I read somewhere that I will have to surrender it and get a MT license...Is that correct ?

 

thanks for clearing that up..And I was also curious about what % of your runs are drop & hook ?

 

Hey BigFish...I talked to a recruiter a couple of times already but I wanted to talk to a driver..Could I call you with a few questions ? Not sure how to message you on here though...Thanks.

 

Sounds like its been good for you, im planning on going with Jim Palmer myself, but im also looking into Prime.

 

Hi Bigfish59, I'm considering Jim Palmer myself. I was wondering if during your training (D, C, B seat) you were able to get to your home from time to time?
