Can I Make A Suggestion For The Forum?
Topic 7082 | Page 6
I don't know if its my phone but sometimes I can't see the posters name on the list of topics but when I click on the thread I can see it .... I've noticed this awhile ago but didn't think to much of it... Does this happen to anyone else
Are you going to add the company sponsored training programs that are not listed like kllm and celadon.... I think there is a couple more not really sure......
Yes indeed. Right now we're converting the entire site over to this new template you're seeing. Once we get finished with that...probably another week or two, we're going to start adding companies that are missing from the Company-Sponsored Training section and we'll be adding a lot more Trucking Companies That Hire Inexperienced Drivers also.
I'll also be adding all these new features we're talking about during those updates.
How about a game section like chess or cards or a live chat room
I've thought about games but it wouldn't be anything that exists anywhere else. It would have to be something original and pretty interesting. I'm definitely open to ideas here.

I haven't come across that. I know there's a couple of people that deleted their nickname so it's just a blank space where their name should be. But I'm interested in hearing more about this. If you guys can point me in the right direction I'll get it fixed.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Company Sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.

Yap, that was a nickname that was deleted so it just showed a blank space. I went through and fixed that name so now it shows up again.
Thanks!
What about an active member/moderator panel that will show how many people are in the forums.

Well interestingly enough, the TT Tracker gets updated anytime someone views a page in the forum. Assuming of course they've chosen to share their location. If you click on the "Last Update" tab and sort by most recent first you'll know who was in the forum last and how recently. I could use something like that to show a "last seen" kinda message for members or something like that.
That TT Tracker doesn't work well on phones right now. We'll be updating that to the new template next week and it will work great on phones.
I know a lot of our members like to know where the others are, who's path they might cross, and who's online - things like that. That's what I built the TT Tracker for and I'd love to improve on it and get more people using it.

I know I am very new to this but what if a way you can separate drivers by company? Say someone like me is leaning toward one company or getting ready to go to training there I think it would be very helpful to hear from drivers who work for that company and get heads up or input on anything dealing with thast company itself. I love the all-star idea and the idea of allstar ranks. Maybe any drivers with say 10-15+ years experience make them an all-star. Let's face it if you been one the road that long there should be very situations you have not been in and can advice /guide all us others.I would like to think if I'm on the road that long I would still learn from anyone but will try to guide anyone asking fgpor help/afvice
