Profile For Jon S.

So yesterday I was driving out of NJ, well trying the best I could to get out, and ran into an "oh crap" moment. Me and my co-driver had spent three hour's looking for our shipper (taking wrong turns, running a some red light's and making a few locals mad) once we found the place we had to wait twelve hour's for our company to get us a pickup number so we could get our load and leave. Well the next morning I finally got the load and was making a mad dash for the Pennsylvania boarder. In such a rush to leave I forgot dispatch had informed me about a toll heading into PA out of NJ. As soon as I saw the sign saying toll booth I knew right then and there I was in trouble. I proceed anyways hoping that there will be a welcome center just before the booth with an atm inside...there was not. I get to the gate and tell the person I don't have the twenty dollar's to pay the toll so a man with a clip board came out and took down all of my information then says I'm clear to go! I was so relieved that I wasn't going to jail or having my licences revoked for not paying the toll (since I assumed that's what happens when you don't pay) If they took down all of my information and allowed me to go through does that mean I am billed later or does my company get billed? Is there any extra type of fees tacked on? (praying nothing astronomically high)

I have an overweight ticket in Kansas due on 06/09/15. I'm not sure I can make the complete payment on time. Does anyone know if they allow late payments without penalties. And what will happen if I don't make the payment on time? Please someone respond asap!

Thank you so much!!! Very big help!

I have a DOT test coming up and i'm really struggling to get the alley docking down. Is there any pointers on an easy way to do it and what tips do you have? What should I be looking for in my mirrors and how do I know when to straighten it out and when it put forward?

Yea it is nothing but team's with this company. I don't know why, it's like they're anti-solo driving. I'm still in the the program and I love it so far. The only thing I don't like is when you complete all your driving and test, you have to wait (un-estimated time) for a lead driver to come pick you up and start your 28 days on the road. But other then that it's okay so far for it being a free school and what not. But thank you for replying to this post! And I'll make sure to watch out for those other truckers :)

Hey everyone!

I just got permit today and i was curious about what i should expect my first year and what type of other truckers i should look out for? Will i be driving in the mountains my first year?

Wow! That was perfect thank you very much

I'm thinking about going out to Iowa to join CRST in January 2015. I've read everything on this site about the program but still have more questions? (I know you guys aren't recruiters just asking for some help)
