Can anyone clarify the belly strap regulations for me please.

I read it as anything 3 tiers or more needs a belly strap that is to be placed no higher than 6’ off the deck.

Am I misinterpreting this???

Hello All, Just stopping in for a quick update. I finished the 4 weeks with my trainer and all went well. I have been issued a truck and will run my first solo load tomorrow.

Take care and stay safe

It is actually against our company policy to turn on red.

How’s the weather over in Cuba?

Hi Parrot, It was wet!! Lol. All went well in orientation and first week.

I’m out with my trainer now. Spending tonight at a Lowes for a 7 a.m. delivery tomorrow morning. Picking up steel tomorrow in Tennessee for a Monday morning delivery in Alabama. I should finish this week with about 2500 miles.

I have three more weeks to go then back to Cuba for final week.

What's the toy truck idea?

Helps you visualize what is going on when you back.

Any updates?

Thanks everyone for all the support! I have been packing my bags tonight. I pick up the rental car tomorrow and leave for Cuba Sunday morning. I may start a new thread about orientation/company training if I feel my experiences warrant it or possibly help somebody. I will at least keep you all updated on my progress.....

Well, this morning in a cold rain, I satisfactorily completed the pre-trip, the backing skills, AND MY ROAD TEST!! 😄

What a relief. Next step on my journey; orientation with McElroy in Cuba, Alabama. I’m scheduled to start Monday the 29th....

If you are looking flatbed, I would recommend you give McElroy a call. They have been great to work with during my application process and they don’t disqualify you for being a stay at home parent.
