Bus ticket in hand for cdl school, starting to get excited! Ready to put in some hard work and turn a dream into reality.

 

Good luck!

 

Where / what time will you be hopping on the bus? I'm pretty sure you will end up on the boss I am on since our arrival time is the same.

 

Kansas City,Mo Sat at 12:25 am.

 

Yup! I'll probably want to be dead by then though lol.

 

I'm doing 400 to 600 miles a day. I should move on to level 3 trainee on Monday

 

I have no interest in the Alliance program nor have I had any pressure to do so.

 

If you're considering Alliance, wait another month or two until the weather improves a bit. These layovers for weather shutdown are killing the new Alliance drivers.

 

So I picked up a load bound for Canada in Idaho on Thursday, to do my part of making sure it is on time, I run it to Michigan with all due haste, arriving 46 hrs before delivery and parked 3 hrs away from receiver.

The delivery appt was 1/2 hr ago and I am still sitting here with this load. It seems to me if we are going to dispatch non Canada Drivers on a load bound for Canada, that the logistics of how to actually get it into Canada and get it there on time should have been worked out innadvance.

I have been sitting here for 46 1/2 hrs now waiting and still no repower. This is not an "I am early" or "I don't like going there" repower, this is a "this load will rot on this trailer unless someone comes and gets it because I am not allowed to drive a CMV in Canada" repower... Come on Operations, get on the ball will you?

 

There aren't any one year lease options?
Does regional setup allow for leases that are worth the effort?
