Profile For Greg S.

Wasn't sure where to post this so here it is:

I'm going through the High Road Training and encountered a bug on "Legal Weight Limits For Trucks" module. It's not calculating correctly upon completion. I got 100% and it calculated it at 92%. Just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to fix it.

2) NO you can't be picky right out the gate. A LOT of truckers smoke, period! It probably would take longer to be paired with a non smoker. I smoke, and had my first 2 co drivers that didn't. The trick is only the smoker cracks open HIS window, so it sucks the smoke out of the cab. I HATE stinky smoked in smelling cars or trucks, mine never have stunk! As a pig? eh luck of the draw.

3)How are you gunna know right away if he is or isn't training you right? lol.....Go with the flow, and worry about that later if you feel that way. You can "request" a new trainer, but who knows it that will work out...

4) No you can't ask for special "stuff" lol you get what they pay for, and those onspot chains probably won't happen. Don't be lazy, IF you ever need to chain up, it's not THAT hard to do.

2. So they will send someone who is allergic to cigarette smoke with a smoker? Hmmm, seems like that's opening up a heck of a can of worms if that's the case. I was a smoker for 35 years & I don't want to be around it. 2nd hand smoke killed 2 of my loved ones & it makes me quite sick now so I won't be settling for a trainer that's a smoker and if that means I have to find another company, than so be it.

3. Because I'm learning right now, via other truckers on Youtube, Facebook, Tiktok, forums, etc, therefore I already know some things and I'm not a simpleton so I think I'd be able to figure out if someone were doing a poor job of teaching me.

4. I'm NOT lazy and I don't appreciate the presumption that I am. However, I find it a little odd that I could feasibly encounter times where I chain up, drive 20 miles, unchain, drive 100 miles, chain up, drive 30 miles, unchain, drive 75 miles, chain up etc and that seems a little much to me. It seems it would make things not only easier, but would also save time with auto chains.

Greg random question, did you drive trucks in the military and or rent a 26 foot Penske or Uhaul truck to move recently?

No, why?

Hey all,

I'm new here and I am planning my career change and I have a few questions. I've looked at a lot of companies and I think I've settled on Wilson Logistics for CDL training & employment. I have a couple questions though before I decide 100% for sure.

1. After you've successfully obtained your cdl, can you choose to do driver training on their Kraft account or do you have to go OTR?

2. If you have to go OTR, can you be picky on who you train with? I don't want to live in a box for 8 weeks with a smoker or a pig.

3. If the trainer is not training me properly, what are my options? I will have a lot of questions because this is VERY important to me so I want to make sure I'm trained by someone who takes it just as seriously as I do. SAFETY first. I want to come home alive.

4. As a company driver, can you request options for your truck such as OnSpot auto chains?

5. I don't care about home time because I'm alone in this world so I would plan on just living in my truck and saving all my money. Is this an option as a company driver?

6. I want to work a max of 5 years while living in my truck to avoid all regular life bills and save all my money. Is it possible to be able to put away $300k as a company driver in that amount of time?

7. What are some lies the recruiter will tell me to get me to sign on?

8. I plan on taking every load thrown at me. Will that get me pay raises?

9. What is the max pay I can get as a company driver?

Thanks to all for your guidance.
