Profile For Jason C.

LIke it, but like you guys hate the 14 hour rule. And that 30 min break after 8 hours can get annoying sometimes. I take it when i know its convenient on my route. To many times stuck on an on ramp waitin for my 30 to be up.

The VA payed for 100% of my schooling and sent me a stipend as well. I know roehl has a good veteran program.

I was sitting at a pilot in Mt Vernon IL today and I watched 5-6 guys get mad because they had to wait for somebody to back into a spot. My thing was come on down the road your gonna be that guy backin in a spot and peoplw are gonna be waitimg on you. So many egos out there. I dont care how long you have driven a rig it only takes one mistake to screw it all up. Get ****y and get a ticket or even worse a wreck.

I agree

Ive got 1 year under my belt. Thats the best advice I ever heeded to. Because everyday something is gonna happen and that can make or break you

Dont lose your cool and panic because that will make things worse. Just stop and say I got this and do what you have to do to get the job done lol.

I would deliver it. Theres already a load preplanned for you and I also think the temperture would hold out until you arrived. You can get the reefer fixed afterwards.

Driving local has I feel made me a better driver than I believe that OTR would have. For the simple fact that its a lot of city driving. I unload my trailer daily as well which keeps me in shape. If you was to go from OTR droppin and hookin to Local unloading of your trailer it would be a shock I think because u arent used to it Just as Local to OTR would be a shock because its just a lot of driving without alot of outside movement. Anyway, any opinions?

I drive local for HT Hackney out of Paducah KY. I get overtime after 40 hours and usually pull between 50-55 hours a week. Alot of window time and early mornings but I love it. Cant beat getting to drive all day and being home every evening. Best of both worlds.

Good luck! I just got hired by Pepsi. Get that CDL and you will be set. And 160 hours is what you need. Why wont coke get it for you?
