What do your guys use for wifi in your trucks ?

I actually got to pull a dry box couple weeks back. I was assigned to a Walmart dc in Tomah, Wisconsin to pull Walmart loads to walmart stores. It was a learning experience I learned about bulkheads and back hauls. They put 2 stores on one truck with the trailer divided into 3 areas, 32 degrees in front -20 in the middle and 32 in the back. Run the stores then pick up a load of Nigeria water and head back to dc. One day my assigned trailer was a dry box had to ask another driver how to pull the tandems , works different from reefer.

I actually did that out of Missouri when I worked for swift had to pull reefer to the different stores

The vinyl wrap business is stagnant even in bigger cities; a cousin in CLEVELAND is folding this year, after 12. No money for non essential things, most people believe. Sorry, man.

No thoughts about Swift/Knight ?? Why (not?)

I don't know much about Variant, but..Brett (and my Tom) drove for USX back when!

I loved swift when I was there but all the people that I worked with are now gone and moved on. And I just decided to try a new company. And I’ve heard many many good things about variant. Which is operated by usx but totally different people. So I’m going to give them a shot :)

Hey guys. It’s been 4 years since my last post lol. But I did my time at swift. And moved on to a few local company’s. Unfortunately I had fender bender in cmv nothing major but it is on my mvr got the ticket dismissed. But as you know that hinders jobs wanting to bring me on.

I stopped driving since august last year (2021 ) to pursue to start my own vinyl car wrapping business it is not going so well because I live in area where people complain about stuff being too expensive.

Any ways enough of my life story. But I will like to announce I will now be driving again soon OTR with variant trucking ( U.S. Express ) and I am excited to return OTR. :)

My recruiter said my application is good to go and they take care of everything before we get there since it’s all online. Now I’m waiting to let her know when I’m ready to leave for orientation :)

I was wondering if we can have these white wheel cover things taken of by shop ? I have a 16 freightliner and I’ve seen other company 16 freightliners without them. ? Just wondering lol

I will actually be a whole day early I’m going to find a truck stop near by and park it for the night tomorrow. The first load is in Mississippi 6/30 08:30 and the other is an hour away in Alabama at 13:30

Oh ok thanks guys ! I never heard a repo load before I’m glad I decided to ask lol. And yeah I think they said it’s a very hot load. I’m assuming it must deliver at that exact time ?

You know maybe that’s what she meant. Maybe her saying repo meant re powered.

So i am on a hobby lobby load that picks up at the dc in Oklahoma City and then have two stops one in Toledo Mississippi and the other in Florence Alabama. My driver leader says it’s a repo load and they get paid pretty good. What does it mean by repo load ?

Thanks Errol ! I have a great driver leader she gives me the miles. All this just so happened when she was on vacation for a few days :/ but yes I use google maps a lot. Time management I still got to work on. I get to my places on time. And sometimes these locations are so out of the wall I’m there on time but I miss it because it may be a hidden entrance lol.
