I replied to his ad. Will wait and see what happens. thanks much

Mike, What is Bolt's pay to the truck for a D-Unit? Do you know if they will hire someone with only CDL school as experience? thanks

email Lucy Perillo at [email protected] she should be able to answer any questions you may have.

I finally got ahold of a lady named Stacie Moss. She said that Bolt requires 2 years of experience. All I have is CDL school so I guess I'm back to looking.

It doesn't give you a very positive feeling when a company ignores you. Maybe they are shorthanded on office staff or don't have enough freight to support hiring new drivers, I dunno, but if that's the case they could at least have something on their automated phone messages saying "we don't...

I am interested in Bolt Express too, but when I called they said Adam no longer works there and transferred me to someone named Mark. I left a message and have not heared anything back from him.

I just studied on this in CDL school last week. They teach 1 second for every 10 feet of vehicle length under 40 mph and ad a second above 40. They also said in the real world 15-20 seconds should be the minimum for a T/T. For a straight truck I'd guess 15 seconds would be a good starting point...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm still not 100% sure what to do, but I'm leaning towards T/T. To be honest though what worries me most about T/T is getting lost in a heavy traffic metro area or a rural area with tiny roads and having to find a place big enough to turn a 53' trailer around...

Tomorrow I'll be in week 3 of my 4 week CDL A refresher at Sage Tech. I still don't know which way I should go as far as a job. Either expediting or T/T OTR. All I know for sure is I want a driving job that pays a livable wage. Expediting seems to fit me. I like the idea of running hard to get...

I've had my CDL A since 1997, but got side tracked with a non driving job. I have read of people jumping in to expedite jobs with little or no experience, so I thought about doing the same because OTR T/T jobs would require recent experience or at least a recent CDL school grad. Recently I have...

I read a thread on another forum about the possibility of using a single axel tractor (or tandem for that matter) and using a 28' or so pup as an expediter. Haven't heard much more about the subject and was wondering if that could possibly be the future sweet spot truck configuration for an...

The one and only expediter truck in my tiny lil town (Redkey, IN) is a T-600. It's leased on with FedExCC. I have never spoke with him, but a friend of mine said he use to be neighbors with him and if I remember correctly his last name is Reese. Anyways it's definitely a cool looking truck.

I know nothing about this type of work, but after doing a quick google it seems Elkart, IN is the hotbed for RV delivery. Here's a link ya might wanna check out http://www.rvamerica.com/data/delivery.html

I'd like to know the answer to the driver for an owner part of your questions. I live in Indiana if it makes a difference and have been told by a friend who is a regular OTR TT driver that he takes out 26% of his gross just to be on the safe side. What would be a good safe % amount to hold back...

I picked up Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 at a local school auction, but it didn't come with the GPS. Are there any decent cheap GPS that I could get that will work with Streets and Trips? I have a laptop with built in 802.11b wirless. Is it possible to use a cell phone as a modem or some...

With the class 7 D-Units a 6 speed seems to be most common transmission from what I've read. I have never driven a 6 speed, but I assume it is synchronized. I know that allot of the "pros" in the Class 8s with 9 or more forward gears shift without using the clutch (floating). I was just...

My brother is in a similar situation. The only school fairly close to him (Sage Corporation..Muncie, IN) only offers a CDL A course, but said if he really was set on only getting his B license that they could train him just on the tractor without a trailer then he would have to rent a strait...

Thanks for all the info everyone. This site is the best. I have a friend that has been driving regular semi (not expedited)OTR for 6 weeks or so. He's been telling me the company he works for would be willing to give me a refresher and 4 weeks OTR with a trainer then "turn me loose". I realize...

White glove doesn't sound very newb friendly. I think I will pass on it for now. Just out of curiosity does w/g loads pay more? thanks
