    ^ T-call means ...(Edit: George's answer below is better)

    What kind of trucks and trailers will you be learning on at your school?

    Technically, T- call is termination call when as CY said you do a swap so you get credit for the miles you hauled said load up to the swap point. You also T-Call when you park your truck for hometime. However, you do not get paid for going home empty, which I do since I live in the middle of nowhere Eastern North Carolina. Like Johnboy sez a rest area or truck stop or an open field when time to drop the kids off at the pool (my euphemism). Make sure to carry baby wipes or toilet paper on hand.

    I was potty trained as a child and it seems to have took throughout my adulthood. I never have found the need inside the truck that I work, live and sleep in.

    I bought one, first thing with my truck stop points. I like maps ever since I was a child. I enjoyed going through it and checking stuff out. I never once used it for this job. If the built in GPS does not give me the info I need, I research it online.

    If we ever bump into one another, you can have mine ... hummm...if I can find it, I think it is my extra bag down in the out box below.
     
    gntorres61 and dennisroc Thank this.
