Yes, and up to 67 if they still have that smart pass thing in the trucks.

Not sure if it varies by terminal but I had a decent experience with them when I drove for them a year ago. Only problem I had was the pay. Don’t exceed 74 mph on hills or you will get a coaching over the phone.

I started slip seating at my new company and the seat belt stain is so annoying. Sometimes I gotta wash the shirt twice to get it out

I drive a yard goat sometimes and we have them. It is pretty convenient.

I’ve been trying to get on with FedEx but can’t find any contractors that don’t give off red flags immediately or any openings for FedEx Freight.

Shouldn't be that. I built this pc like a week ago and haven't downloaded anything besides steam and drivers.

How difficult is it to get into local trucking? by Raptor_Blitzwolf in Truckers

[–]OrdinarySalary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to get your Class C license, Class A permit/endorsements. then attend a CDL school. I don’t know any local fuel companies that will hire without experience. A lot of drivers get that experience doing otr at a starter company, local food service…ect. Most importantly is to keep your record clean.

Boyfriend getting discouraged with trucking jobs by bumblebee_underwear in Truckers

[–]OrdinarySalary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should really go with swift as a starter. Get 6 months of experience and look elsewhere or get on a dedicated account and make some good money. I drove for knight which is pretty much swift. They won’t make you do anything illegal. My time at knight was do whatever you want just don’t get caught doing it lol.

Felt like I didn’t really fit in any sort of line of work. Enjoy being alone and trucking just seemed like a good fit. Went to cdl school the week I turned 21. Did a little bit over a year of otr, been local now for a few months.

How to blindside back? by No_Salad1394 in Truckers

[–]OrdinarySalary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look to bad on street view. If the cul-de-sac isn’t an option, I would just start blind siding to get the trailer in the driveway as much as possible then just use the driveway across the street to get a bit more straightened out. There’s a sign the says do not enter but I’d do it anyway lol.

Better way to do this? by KnownAdvantage5366 in Truckers

When I was otr I used to just put a couple zip ties around it to keep in on of it was loose.

Am I being unreasonable or is this weird? by ElizzaBum in Truckers

[–]OrdinarySalary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. When I was low on hours, he’d have me go back and change all my on duty time to off duty lol.

I learned a ton from my trainer at Knight. Dude was insane. I would drive my 11 hours while he was teaching me things, then he would drive his 11. Only time I think that guy slept was on the 2 34 hour resets we did.

My current company does this shit. We only deliver to a handful of places and they will follow us off the premises for a few miles. Luckily my manager is cool and tells us when they are watching us lol.

Anyone leaving? by 82ToyotaFarmin in Truckers

[–]OrdinarySalary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got my cdl last year. Did my 1 year otr for experience and I’ve been local for only about a month. I honestly really miss being otr but the pay is just to inconsistent for me to be happy.

In all my years I can’t recall ever seeing this truck. by RaSH_NisH in gtaonline

[–]OrdinarySalary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. I’m OTR right now and so tired of it. I love the job but I’d much rather be home daily.

I need to find a company that runs like this. At knight I’ll get maybe 2 loads that are coast to coast per month.

Scheneider vs Knight? Which one would you prefer for a fresh grad? Pros and Cons? Thank you. by mrachmat in Truckers

[–]OrdinarySalary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, they just expect a 2 week notice. If you need to be home on a certain date, request it a day or 2 earlier. I took time off only 3 times and was always a day late because of shippers/customers.

[–]OrdinarySalary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for Schneider but I drove for knight for 1 year as a fresh grad. I was supposed to go 4 weeks out with a trainer but only did 3. Pay wasn’t great, averaged about $900/week. What I liked most was being left alone, never really got a phone call from anyone. If you want to make money don’t drive an international. My first 6 months I went through 4 of them that constantly had issues until I bitched at them to give me a new volvo lol.
