While I usually wouldn't recommend a large carrier , Schneider will hire inexperienced drivers in their tanker division . Put up with them a year or 2 and you can get a very good paying job with one of the major tank haulers . There are good benefits with the right company . Plenty of dedicated...

I'll tell you one that was funny to me but not some others . I was on the Blue Water bridge coming out of Sarnia . Traffic was backed up and when I was about 3/4 of the way across the bridge I saw a Grand Cherokee overheat . Coolant was running out of it and steam was pouring out from under the...

When you take the 2 hours after driving the 5 after 8 sleeper you will not have the 14 reset . You will have 14 hours minus the 5 driving , the 2 additional sleeper (or off duty ) , and also minus whatever on duty time you logged between finishing driving and taking the 2 . It makes splitting...

Now there's a former USX driver for sure telling why they have such a high turnover rate . Unfortunately many newbies start with companies like USX , think all carriers are the same and leave the industry and another newbie takes their place .

I ran out of hours unexpectedly due to weather at the new Pilot at exit 92 on I-64 in IN Feb.12 . I went in at 4 a.m. to shower and have my coffee . No showers were available . On my way to the men's room I saw all the showers were dirty , waiting to be cleaned . After 1 was cleaned I went to...

Need more details . Was your truck bought used ? Some states don't charge sales tax on used trucks . An APU is also subject to excise tax if installed within 6 months of truck purchase . IRS says aftermarket APUs can be taxed - CCJ Magazine . Now excise tax laws are confusing . I know they are...

You'd better hope Joan Claybrook doesn't read this or Public Citizen will be petitioning for motion detectors and cameras to be required on sleeper berth entrances .

It sounds like possibly this driver had stopped for his 10 hour break since he was still at the Pilot the next morning . In that case the result would have been the same no matter what the response from dispatch was . Pilot has begun opening clinics at their locations . Pilot Travel Centers...
