Transland/TCSI

Like Snorelord said, ask ALOT of questions...Dont worry about the East Coast, Transland doesnt run to many loads out there..If I were you though, I would ask the trainer to request a run out there..better to learn while you have someone helping than by trial and error..Another thing I found VERY helpful...get a little notepad and write all of your trip information down, load numbers, shippers and receivers address..pickup times, delivery times, mileage when you fueled and location(s)..etc, you will find this will aid (and sometimes save your butt) when you get in a hurry and dont do your logs til the end of the day..also helps you keep track of your miles when it comes to payroll...A couple of other things, eat right (or as well as you can), drink plenty of water and shower at least every other day..LOL..good luck and again, tell Marti Hi...

I live in Springfield also, Was also thinking about driving for Transland. They told me I would ahve to be re-trained since I have not driven semi's in the past 6 years. I assume they don't accept pets in their trucks right?

 

Thanks for the reply. Yeah basically the no pet thing is what's keeping me from going back on the road. I drove semis from 97 to 01 and from then on been working at a local courier company. But it seem's hardly any company wants to deal with pets.

 

Thanks. CFI won't take me cause apparently I got some negative reports on my DAC. I guess I should order a copy to see what's on there. Conway pulls doubles right? I pulled doubles once for a few days and didn't like. I might just go with whoever will take me in Springfield sometime. Thanks again.

 

what kind of equipment they have?

 

we are going to an all kenworth fleet I have drove for them for 6 months now I still make 800+ a week.

I get home every weekend and dont drive to new york or west of kansas(by request from me)

great company to work for

fresh out of school they gave me a kw with 18k miles on her, I didnt care for the truck and requested an international and havent looked back

I love transland good people
