Profile For Jared D.

So Ive been doing flatbed a couple months now and decided a ladder would be a huge help! But im stuck on where to put it? I have a 6 ft. Ladder and my truck is a 2017 t680. I was originally planning on putting it on my cat walk and strap it up against my headache rack but my cat walk doesnt go all the way up to my headache rack. Ill try to get a picture of my headache rack here soon but any ideas guys?

Okay so I'm on a load to Martinsville, VA but it was a tight one from the start and running on recaps by the time I get down there I'm only gonna have 1 1/2 -2 hours left to find somewhere to park if I'm doing my math right. I've looked on trucker path and it only shows one truck stop nearby, but I don't wanna put all my marbles on that stop because I've been burned before doing that. So does anyone know of any other places to park around martinsville?

I'm still a pretty new driver, and so far I have been running more southern but now I am on a load going up to Mehoopany, Pa. I've not dealt with the driving around the mountains and steep grades so much yet. Just curious as what to expect.

Anyone know where the cigarette lighter/ power outlet fuse on the dash would be?

Don't know, I call the company when I want to know., I google earthed it and there is a Kagaroo gas station not far from it with truck parking in rear.

Yeah I seen that, but it's one of those smaller ones so sometimes it's hit and miss on whether there's parking or not lol

I was wondering if anyone has delivered here and if anyone knew if they allowed overnight parking?

Any experience available for anyone that has been through Schneiders training in West Memphis?? Hopefully I'll be through there within a couple of weeks...

Whip-stock, I start my orientation there tuesday, I'll let you know how it goes!

I start my 17 day Orientation tomorrow for Schneider Van division . The van division you are with a trainer for 7 days, it can be longer or shorter depending on how fast you learn from what I hear. If your going the tanker division that is like 30 days. I can re-post tomorrow if you like i will try to find out exactly what it is.

Please do.... My son who passed his CDL with flying colors, is trying to get me with Empire as he did and his argument is that a week on the road is not enough training to be driving solo...

Whip-stock, you are correct about riding with a trainer for only a week, that's the minimum, but it can go for more than that depending on how you progress and if your making right decisions or not, that's what I got from my recruiter anyway. I start orientation next week.

Really? hmmm...I'll have to check that out then. I could be wrong there, in which case, I'm set.

Only question for now is then, can I find a cable like the one I mentioned at a Pilot or a Loves? Or am I SOL on that one? I'm about to head out to AL here pretty soon.

Are you talking about a 3 prong RCA like red, yellow, and white Jacks or the single jack like a headphone? If it's the single, you can pick them up at almost any gas station, truck stop, or walmart for under $10 most the time. It's called an auxiliary cord.

Congrats on the first two... You made it past the toughest I think anyways.... Just relax and drive that truck.. Talking helps calm the nerves try talking to the DOT they like that lol... Just stay calm you will get it

Thanks Scott, hopefully my nerves will be in check tomorrow and maybe get to retest lol
