Leasing a truck is like gambling at a casino, so just pick whatever one floats your boat.... The end result will be the same. You're wasting your time and money in both instances.

Unless there's been a drastic change in technology hair tests go back three months max. Black hair, white hair, purple hair doesn't matter. I'll reiterate what old school and Brett said, if you fall the test your screwed. Main thing is don't lie to yourself and try to blame a failed test on race or some other trumped up bs... If you stay clean nothing will give you a false positive. So if you're not clean for three months, don't test. And that means even one little toke.

Just over 59000 so far this year, but it's been a roller coaster the past month or more, with more weeks below 2800 than over. So i don't think I'll have as many miles as last quarter.

“In the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?”~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Assassinated Civil Rights leader & non violent activist.

According to the footage, "police said the protester MAY have been trying to break into the truck." But the reporter actual said, at the very beginning, before quoting the police, that he was killed WHILE BREAKING INTO THE TRUCK. That's what yall heard & he's guilty cause he's black.

All I know is that the FedEx driver has essentially lost his driving privileges cause insurance companies will not insure anyone with a fatality on their license. I dont have experience with self insured trucking companies & their policies so I cant speak to that.

There's absolutely no excuse for rioting and destroying property and the injuring of people that is going on...That includes being black and supposedly oppressed for 100s of years. There are countless black protestors who have protested during the day and have done so peaceable and with dignity. The problems start at night when opportunists enter into the mix. You (and others in this post) need to open your eyes to the truth and see that it is not a black/ white, rich/poor, American/vs whoever issue, it is strictly right vs wrong. More specifically it is non-believers vs believers in Christ. Tensions and issues are increasing on a world scale and it's only going to get worse. So choose whether you want to get caught up in the short term turmoil here on earth and forgo your salvation or live as Jesus told us,and showed us, to live in spite of the chaos around us.

Rob D., Prime recommends the proper tire pressure for the tractor is 110 psi on the steers but 100 psi on the drives. I believe the difference is due to the drives being super singles.

And yes, Prime does splurge on their equipment & replacement parts. But not all megas are built the same. At the same time, not all "innovations" deliver on their implied cost benefit. Two examples come to mind, those wheel covers that hid the axle hub seals & those trailer tails. They do try & that's why I'm back with Prime.

That said, all the safety equipment in the world cannot correct stupid or ignorance! What I've learned in the few years of driving is that the way drivers are trained creates both great drivers & dangerously misinformed drivers too.

Example, I noticed a driver pull his brakes while he was on the scale. I went over & politely told his that by him pulling his brakes, his weights will be off. He looked at me like I was crazy & said that's the way he's always done it. I responded by letting him know that he's been very lucky cause that's not the proper way to scale a load & walked away.

I thought just pulling the tractor brake is the proper way to scale? If you sit with your foot on the brake then all of your axles and steers are locked up.

When you apply to Roehl, they just slot you where they need someone? Can you apply to a specific Division?

Yes you can decide where you want to go, you just need to get it straight with your recruiter before the training starts, otherwise you have to wait three months to switch divisions. The three months rule is not cast in stone though.

I'm with Roehl, and Swift is a much bigger company so they probably have more loaner truck selection. However, Roehl hasn't bought any manual trucks for the last two to three years. Two months ago when i needed a loaner it was a manual. I also recovered a truck while mine was being repaired and It was a manual. Had I been restricted, i wouldn't have been able to take either of those jobs and kept working. There was no option for an automatic loaner when i needed it. So personally, if swift still has manuals in the fleet I'd train on a manual. If they are cycled out it won't matter, as Old School said.

Aubrey apologizes...

Sorry, i got kind of preachy there.

Glad you apologized. It’s okay though, it happens, we all get “clicked-off” at times.

Lol... Very punny

Sorry, i got kind of preachy there.
