This has only happened twice in 25 years
I passed my CLP!!!
Next top is DOT physical and drug screening, then onto CDL school!
Will most mega trucking companies let you come home on your days off no matter where you live or do you have to be based out of the city your from?.. I live in vegas and Iām looking into getting my CDL but I have a felony on my record so Iām a little worried that I wonāt be able to find a local job and I donāt want to be stuck moving to another city just to get work.
I am on an OTR delivery job and I am switching to a more local class B job (pays more) this monday. This week I have been doing my stops in a different order than planned because a storm warning.
I was going to do one stop last but working around the load and backtracking added miles and time. If I go to that stop I will max out my 70 and have to do a 34 on the road which would screw up my start date at the other company on monday. I could delay the start date a week probably but Ive already agreed to monday and am ready to GTFO of my current job.
My question is there anything illegal about not delivering to one stop thats on the manifest. Like if a port were to inspect the load or something. Im not worried about the company charging with load abandonment because im still doing 20 of my 21 stops for the week. The other ethical implications of leaving a job unfinished are my only other concern but Ive worked damn hard enough and would the company have the same courtesy towards me? Nah
PLEASE TAKE TGE TIME TO SIGN!
Does anybody have a list of trucking companies?
It's my first year driving semi and winter is just starting up, what tips do y'all have for a first year driver in the snow?
3 months gross at my current job. I live in SoCal lol tell me it gets better gang
I live in vegas and Iām thinking about getting my CDL but I have a felony on my record so Iām a little worried about how hard it will be to find a job. If I end up getting hired with a mega will they usually allow me to come home on my days off no matter where home is or would I have to relocate to wherever theyāre hiring out of? Iām not wanting to move just for employment.
I have got a job offer that requires me to get a class b license. I smoke regularly and was wondering about the drug testing process. Do they only drug test you once at the beginning or end or do they do it periodically as youāre still obtaining it? Is the test observed or private? Iāve talked to a few guys and they said it usually wasnāt monitored unless youāre suspected as tampering with the test. Just wanted to get a better idea of the process so I can prepare accordingly any help is greatly appreciated.
Can I get a cdl license even though I'm on probation for 1st degree crulty to children in the 1st degree and I'm a 1st time offender
Iāve decided that I enjoy driving stick shift and would prefer to do so in a place with good weather. See the rest of my post below
Doing flat bed at welfare express unfortunately just to gain experience and Iāve only been home once out of the 4 months Iāve been here. Been out for over two months and have been begging every week to go home for a month now to get gear for the winter considering the last time I was home it was still hot. Just wondering if there is really no loads headed to Memphis or running through it to get me home or am I just being fucked with. Tired of WE bullshit it surely canāt be that hard to find something around MEMPHIS of all places. Maybe Iām wrong idk.
I have two years experience. Does anyone know any companies as hiring in Little Rock Arkansas? I canāt find any companies thatās hiring at the moment possibly because of the holiday season but if you know, let me know please.
Itās crazy how fast time goes by out here on the road . š
This is a longshot but I'm searching for people that have a dashcam and traveled on I-45 or US-175 near exit 282 in Dallas on November 15, 2024.

im first nation status so that opens up the opportunity to work tax free, and buy tax free fuel. Is it worth it to become a new owner operator today? i have 7 years experience driving 18 speed and all types of trailers. im from saskatchewan.
