I have recently left Schneider after 5 months of putting up with crap pay, wrong paychecks, terrible dispatch, etc. That is all the experience I have aside from trucking school. Anyways I have a possible offer (pending road test tomorrow and drug screen) from PFG for a local gig shuttling trailers. Its great pay ($900-$1000/wk), home everyday, Friday and Saturdays off. I'm super excited! I can't find much info online about a shuttle driver position, but from what I gathered from our interview there's not much there to complain about. I'm assuming I won't be touching freight day in and day out at restaurants like the route drivers. Seems like a easy gig. Hope it all works out! Does anyone have any input or advice for the road test? I'm not that worried, but I haven't driven in 3 weeks, and have never driven a day cab or automatic, which is what ill be testing on. Also, any PFG or other food service shuttle drivers info would be appreciated! Thanks!
Day Cab:
A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.
