Had its ups and downs. I would give them a 9 out of 10. Make sure you have your paperwork in order. If you have a problem with your trainer, let them know asap. My first trainer no longer works with the company. I don't either. Lol. I can go back at anytime. He cannot. Stay clear of Walmart or dollar general dedicated runs. Don't worry about NY city. You will drop off in new Jersey for all of those. I got a new job close to home so I don't work there anymore. PS if you hit anything, tell them asap. Don't wait at all you will be fired. Or do as I was lucky enough to do, don't hit anything. Keep your distance from other vehicles. If you hit any vehicle in the back, they will fire first ask questions later.

Dedicated Run:

A driver or carrier who transports cargo between regular, prescribed routes. Normally it means a driver will be dedicated to working for one particular customer like Walmart or Home Depot and they will only haul freight for that customer. You'll often hear drivers say something like, "I'm on the Walmart dedicated account."

SAP:

Substance Abuse Professional

The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
