I would agree, unless he is in a geographic location with restricted hiring (Prime does this with FL, and the number of FL residents it has on at any given time)

Either way, I would apply everywhere, and choose from those who choose you

First of all, nobody has attacked you...... Yet.

These are absolutely legitimate questions in order to give you a complete and honest answer.

For future readers, this is 100 percent the reason we preach company sponsored training around here. She has laid out time and money, to get her CDL and landed herself in a position worse than no CDL, and that is a stale CDL with a dented driving history.

Now, heck yeah I'm going to judge you. We were all young and dumb once upon a time, and MOST of us learned from it. Some of us had to learn the hard way, which is obviously the position you find yourself in. The only two things that will help you now Miz Thang, is time, and checking the attitude at the damn door. It will get you nowhere. Especially as a woman in this industry.

I shut down after two hours driving this morning, and just did a ten. Pulled into Springfield for the weekend. Hopefully everything will be back to normal by Tuesday.

Old School got his start with them, after a very long and arduous search with many false starts.

He unarguably has a wonderful career NOW. The only way you can impact wether you sit or not, is be efficient, safe, and reliable.

With a dented past, your options are limited, as you can see. Take what is offered, spend your time learning how to manage your clock, how NOT to hit other things, and how to be a good driver in general. Then, you either stay put, or look for another position. They are willing to take a chance on you, are you willing to take a chance on them?

I could totally see you pulling that off with a straight face too 🤣

I once told a guy that my APU was required by law to stay on and power my ankle bracelet while I was on parole for manslaughter of trucker who accosted me with annoying questions. I got manslaughter cause the pharmacy mess up my psyvhe meds.

Shut him up real fast. He wasn't sure if I was telling the truth or not.

Dangit! I was just wondering about her the other day. She was a beautiful human.

Honestly, the lightweight thing, is kind of a thing. Mostly it's based on what is available at the time you upgrade. My first FM tried to push me into a lightweight after I was assigned a full size.

I'm not exactly clear on the issue that is going on with your medical card, but if it's a no longer valid type of form, that could be the issue. I'm not well versed enough in the actual form requirements to speak intelligently on it.

I had a pad based PSD trainer in Pittston (2021) and a different OTR trainer for TNT. It is entirely luck of the draw if you get the same one all the way through.

Be prepared for a whole lot of "it depends." Welcome to Prime

That was my thoughts exactly.

Im guessing the doctor's office was closing and sent him away. They then reported to the CDL school that he did not produce a sample. At that point, the school lied and told hik to leave and it would be worked out.

Easy lie to tell to get rid of someone.

As for the gallon jug, take it into the next rest area, and pour it down the toilet, collapse the bottle, and dispose of in the trash. The goal is to not make another person handle your waste.

I always carry emergency supplies. I have tried the "She-Wee" and the ability to pee on yourself is really really increased. I keep a stack of plastic soda cups.(32oz works well) That I pick up whenever I find a truck stop that has them. I also keep an empty gallon water bottle (from the dogs daily water) to transfer it to. There are times and places where you don't have facilities overnight, so I keep supplies that can make it a full night if I have to.

As for the other, I always always always carry gallon ziplock bags, and scented trash bags. One of the small bins I store flip flops in, is the perfect size to line with double trash bags if it's an emergency. I also keep baby wipes and paper towels. Use the "makeshift" facilities, seal in the ziplock, and dispose of in the next actual dumpster (not the fuel island trash cans. People have to handle those.) luckily I have only had to use this option twice in 3 years.

Some women carry camping potties, and elaborate kitty litter systems. For me, I can't justify the space based on how often I need to use it.

Bathroom for girls on the road. What do you use or for things to buy or bring with you if you have to go and can't make it somewhere?
