How do you do it? How do you manange to eat good on the road?
I was thinking about Mills company training - Does anyone know anything about them? The school is 2,500 which seems cheaper than most. Thanks 😁😁
I got pulled over on my way to work tonight, state trooper had told me that my CDL A was canceled but didnt give me a reason. I never got a notice about this in the mail. The state trooper even said that he didnt know what he was looking at. Employer hasnt said anything to me about revoked license. I am unsure if my license is actually canceled or not. I just got my CDL in October.
Can i have an Audit added to my fmsca as an inspection?
Drivers subjected to onboard facing cameras…what has your experience been? I am being offered a job with what seems to be a good company, not a mega, for an OTR position, as a driver with not a lot of experience. I swore I wouldn’t take a job that has onboard facing cameras inward on the cab, especially for OTR but I am second guessing myself for the possibility of a decent job with a company that doesn’t have a lot of bad reviews.
And so it begins. The Tesla trucks have arrived.
Starting my orientation on December 27 in Indianapolis Indiana! I’m both excited and nervous for it.
Whenever I do research truckers always seem to take crap. I am doing dedicated regional Target account with Schneider. Target seems to have no regard for their drivers, but its not horrible.

I have nothing to compare this too. My coworkers say this is great, but I really dont know. The whole double drop n hook and general disregard for us and Schneider doesn't seem great itself. This is a starting company for me, but some are saying I will have BS everywhere I go. Just wanted some thoughts from others. What is an ideal account to you and how good have you had it?

So back to the drawing board,called yellow,xpo, swift,Werner,etc. Looking to get paid while training and needing a ride there ,with provided meals and having the option to pay the tuition cost back while working ,with at least a 6month-1year contract. Any recommendations for companies?
First and foremost, you must get a driver's license for the kind of vehicle you intend to use for delivery work. A regular but still valid driver's license will be taken into consideration for delivery driving employment if you plan to use a light goods vehicle truck for your deliveries.
However, if you want to drive a heavy goods vehicle truck, you must have a commercial driver's license. I would advise getting a state-issued ID card or a passport as a bare minimum, as you are legally obligated to provide evidence of identification to any new employment. A state ID can be obtained without a diving license.
To increase your work options, get your Class A CDL and, at the very least, the tanker endorsement. The hazmat and doubles/triples endorsements are advantages, however, the majority of trucking businesses that want these two endorsements also demand more years of experience.
Driving a commercial vehicle is the only experience that trucking firms would accept, with a preference for local or long-distance driving. There is absolutely no other option, but thankfully, many businesses recruit drivers with no prior experience.
