Profile For Cynthia C.

I drive OTR with another company male driver and as hard as I try I cannot stay organized. I am constantly losing my reading/sunglasses, they always complain I take too long in the shower which I try todo during my 30 min break which always takes me at least 45 when I shower and usually an hour. It just takes me longer even if I leave with my hair wet. I also have problems with skin breakouts on the road I am thinking maybe soot from the diesel? I have face wupes to clean my face. Also my face becomes very dry and irritated while OTR despite my USB powered humidifier.

Try Georgia Northwestern Technical College in Rock Spring (northwest) GA. I went to school there and Mr B was always testing someone

Are you going to drive class A with your current employer? If not, you will have a lot of difficulty landing a job with no training certificate or class A experience.

My company phas a ay stub that is quite ambiguous and I am not sure how I can go from a 1200 gross pay to an 800 paycheck takehome when my fed deductions etc are always less than 200. They pay per diem but at a higher rate (25% of gross) than my pay (21 of something, not sure if it is cpm or % of gross.

Hello, I am a CDL-A holder with one year of OTR team driving experience. I was hired by the company i work for right after graduating CDL school from a technicsl college. As a 50+ year old single mother with a 15 year old son trucking seemed to be the quickest way to a paycheck. I had no idea how hard just the CDL school it would be. I went from kindergarten to college, I.e. school straight to the west coast. Company put me with a male trainer which I had no problem with as long as it was understood that it was all about the job and not playing grab-as#%. Starting pay was pretty low with a percent going to my codriver for training. He had never trained anyone before I was told I would get a raise at 2, 6 and 12 months, depending on performance. Starting out was difficult because I was homesick and missed my child so bad and was worried about leaving him with his Dad. Fast forward to present. I have my year in now minus a couple of weeks and I have had 6 or 7 codrivrrs in this year. The last one was the only one I had a complaint about, and it was because of poor hygiene. Since then, about six weeks they have put me on hold saying they cannot find me a partner to team with. I believe this to be BS. I tried another company, a mega carrier, but found out that they would not accept my health card because of my medication for adult ADD , although prescribed under a doctors supervision. I believe they are retaliating because I made a complaint. I work hard, pull my weight, have a clean MVR and no CSA points. I really don’t want to work for a mega carrier anyway. I would like to find a small company or an owner operator. Home time is more important than pay. Right now I am really depressed because I have busted my butt for a year for these people and they are blacklisting me, i believe. They have given me some side work on weekends, not enough to keep us fed, and I am at a loss. I live near the Chattanooga area. .

Hello I am a female CDL A driver with one year OTR experience. The company I work for employs mainly male team drivers and recently since I made one complaint about a codriver that had poor hygiene and urinated in a jug on the truck and never emptied it. Since then I have been put on the back burner, they claim they cannot find a codriver for me and I have to beg for work on the weekends. I don’t want to go to one of the mega carrriers, I haven’t had good experience with those people. I am looking for a small company who will treat me right. I would be happy to work for you.
