    Well that sucks. I was hoping to one day I would go to Colorado once I get into a truck. Of course that would be a dead zone. I was born just south of Denver and was to young to remember anything about where I was born so always wanted to go and venture out see where I was born. Oh well. Maybe...

    Nervous newbie

    Yeah it was crazy in there today. A lot of people. I don’t mind to wait but 2+ hours I would have never thought. I’m glad the test will roughly take 45 min. I guess I’ll probably call off Tuesday or tell them I tryed to go to the doctors today that’s why I changed my schedule and on Monday and...

    Well today didn’t go the way I planned. I changed my work schedule to work 2nd shift from 2:30 - 10:30pm so I can take care of getting my DOT Physical and my Class B permit today. Thinking I could sleep in and go to the doctors @ 10am and to the license center at noon. Well I got my dot card as...

    Oh I got you. I figured the clink was a load board but I thought it was just one that fed ex has access to only and the other one you could choose one from was more public to help out if people couldn’t wait. I guess it makes sense that it would be the same lol just though it was something...

    Well that’s good they at least got you on deadhead miles. Never any good loads on the load board? Or are you just going to use it when your in a jam? Sounds like you’ve been moving pretty good this week which is good. I don’t know what I would have done if that were me at that Illinois...

    Yeah cold weather is worth it if your making money lol as long as it doesn’t have a bad snow storm and keeps you stuck there not making money but that’s not going to happen this week anytime soon. That’s crazy. At least you were on some rural roads with little to none traffic. Would have been...

    Nervous newbie

    I guess I’ll have to look into the hours a bit more i Guess I haven’t got the grasp of it yet. What you said was partially confusing lol but I’ll see if it’s in the fmcsa. Yeah it’s the 36 hour reset. I was thinking it’s 14 hours on duty 11 hours driving mandatory 1/2 if driving consecutive 8...

    Nervous newbie

    That’s good they provide everything I just didn’t want to jump in and not have nothing to secure the load. We haven’t figured who we wanted to go with yet but it seems it’s between panther and fed ex. Hopefully who ever it is they are good people and good owners. But it’s good they at least take...

    Nervous newbie

    Yeah as excited as she is about this opportunity I wouldn’t like her to have a sour taste in her mouth because once we’re out there then that’s it we are out there. Did you have to provide your own like straps or load bars etc... prior to your first load or did the owners supply all that...

    Josh thanks for that link I do appreciate it that will be perfect for her to study. It would be so much easier if I had a truck to be able to show her, I would because I’m dot certified and no what to look for but I know a pre-trip is not as extensive but the simple safety measures before you...
