I believe you gotta be with the company for 25 years to get your own tractor and your name written on it. I've seen few drivers post pictures on facebook group.

 

That's a clean looking Volvo. Is it 10spd?

 

Yes it is.

 

My old high school buddy from NJ wants to become a driver at FXF, but he only has basic CDL. Apparently he flunked hazmat part twice already. I told him what to study and from where, but he won't listen. Sigh sometimes I question his existence

 

What do you guys use for winter jackets? Our company put some new jackets in for our uniform allowance. But theyre a nylon type material. Im worried about them tearing easy. Maybe going with a carhartt type material instead. I put some pictures of what they offer

.

 

We have a nylon type jacket. I went to the farm store and bought a chore coat, put a patch on it and am 100% happier with it than the cheap nylon.

 

We also have nylon type jackets.

Not having assigned truck to you can suck sometimes...

 

Dont understand how people can do that, its your second home.

Have you had any problems with your nylon ripping?

 

I can only imagine what their house looks like. I haven't use my winter jacket yet. I started at FXf in May, but I also have rain jacket made out of nylon and it's holding up fine so far.

 

Apparently we are going to get some more tractors soon, but all of them are going to be automatic. Hopefully new Volvo and Cascadia since both of them have plenty of room inside. This week we've got some additional pallet jacks and brand new Toyota forklifts. Things are heading in the good direction
