Well I know at where I'm at you get a message from our Road Service over the QC, you have to get it done within the miles they say or you are blocked from dispatch and whatever part of the country your in you will have to get to a Speedco, TA/Petro and get it done before getting further loads. They usually give you a 3800 mile advance notice, depending on the Make truck your driving.

Don't know about now, but back when I worked for Knight, they routed the trucks through a terminal with a shop, every so often. And not too long before I left, they started trying to route trailers through a shop every month. I have to wonder how that worked out.....
ChaoSS Thanks this. -

New drivers. You should never come on this board called "Questions from New Drivers" and ask a question. Instead, call your dispatcher. This board is hereby closed.
tucker Thanks this. -

Where to park on hometime should be one of the first things considered when starting out as a truck driver. You wouldn't buy a boat if you lve in an apartment complex without first thinking "Where am I going to keep this when I am not using it?"
tucker Thanks this. -
Some companies hold you responsible for anything that happens to the truck once it's out of route to go home .
And a lot can happen -
FYI if the "i dont know where to park" is directed at me, you are way off. I knew where I was going to park before I was even assigned a truck. I'm not super happy to pay daily and be an hour away, but my city isnt like many others. You cannot park on street or even in your driveway. My company knows the parking address and I have followed the parking guidelines. So thats that. When I was still in training weeks ago I asked others on a different thread what they do, I cannot do what many in here do, park at my home. Thats how I came to understand I'll have to pay for this spot and just suck it. Fine.
On this thread I searched for points of view on Qualcom, truck safety, and APU staus while out of service. Nice people here shared their experiences. Thank you! I am now on hometime and this thread helped me a lot. People shouldnt feel embarrassed to ask questions. Im not.Last edited: Sep 2, 2016
