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.
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?
if you could give a new guy 1 tip, what would it be?
Hey there my company is assigning me a truck they assigned me a international they also have freightliners should I try to request a Freightliner or just keep this I'm not sure which one's better what do you guys think. What's the difference between them
I left a company not long ago, and for my next round of job interviews I need my most recent medical card. My previous company, instead of giving us a physical copy of our card, kept it on file on their end. Flash forward to today, I call my old company and now they say they can't give it to me because that card is "company property," I'd assume because they scheduled the appointment with their preferred examiner. Is this legal and/or common practice?
Your DOT medical card is valid for usage in any job circumstance so long as the card hasn't expired. The majority of DOT physical examination cards have a validity period of two years. However, the medical examiner may decrease that period if they believe the driver needs to be examined more frequently.
You can continue working at your current job and apply for new jobs without getting a new physical while your card is still valid.
An employer may decide to request pre-employment physicals to ensure a candidate's well-being and suitability for the position, particularly for physically demanding positions. By recording a candidate's physical capabilities before employment, pre-employment examinations can assist in safeguarding employees against workplace accidents and companies from litigation arising from such injuries.
Pre-employment medical exams are advantageous for both the business and the employee. Employers can give their staff members business accounts with Immediate Care. With the help of this, companies may set up procedures for handling worker compensation claims and pre-employment physicals. It is ensured that everyone receives the same pre-employment physicals by sending all job applicants and workers to the same medical institution.
Can a truck driver at roehl cover the driver facing camera? Or is that grounds for termination?
To my fellow drivers who are spending this holiday either on the road, in route to a Friday or later delivery. To the drivers with no dispatch today and taking a 34 at some random truck stop countless miles away from your loved ones and home.
So if I'm stopping for my 10 hrs and it's 0°F, but I am using my APU which will keep my batteries charged, and I have anti-gel already added, should this be ok? Or would you keep the truck idling in this situation?
After getting fingerprinted how long does it typically take for the approval ? I’m in NJ btw . Thanks everyone
Former OTR driver and trainer here… I think it’s brilliant, but I don’t expect the majority of truckers to think so. There’s something nice and macho about making the big rumbly noises with a diesel truck. However, I have started driving electric cars and I’ve seen the light!
Going on 10 years of Trucking.. Plan on going into hvac/heating, Just to stay busy.. What are ya people planning on doing after ya hang it up ???
