A recent driving school grad. Not necessarily the cause. But something to be questioned? Just send them.Crash on 81 from Transfer
E33 was sent on a transfer to Co. 50 (Penn Twp) while they operated on a House Fire. While covering for them, E33 was sent to I81 SB at the SB Rest Area for an accident involving a tractor trailer off the road. E33 and T150 arrived finding the driver out of the vehicle. Crews assisted A147/MU40...www.newkingstownfire.com
Afraid we’re all headed that way.
Does anyone know for sure the driver was new? I see many experienced drivers who worry more about their phone head set fitting properly, than their pretrip.
Are you trying to say verifying Popeye’s coupons aren’t expired is NOT part of a proper pre trip? Lot folks gone dis’gree
We aren't the only ones doing it. All the LTLs are offering CDL training and most all training time is paid.
It is if you run out of Charlotte.
I heard from one of the other linehaul driver at his terminal his first nite on linehaul by himself
That’s why I got off running the road as soon as someone got hired underneath me. P&D was no picnic by any means but at least I could go home and sleep like a normal human being should. like an old teamster told me at 02:00 one morning, “the night time was made for sleeping, not working .”
A teamster told you at 2am. Now that's funny
Well at some point you got to put the big boy pants on. These new driver are coddled to much. They are now asked if they FEEL they are ready to go out on there own. If you have your CDL and hired here you are over 21 it's time to get off mommy's teat and put you big boy pants on
yeah it was. I was working the I/b shift with a teamster carrier at the time, st johnsbury trucking, and we were all taking a coffee break at 2 in the morning when the old guy just came out with it. I guess he was just sick of working the grave yard shift. Weird I know, but true!
Old St Johnsbury trucking Teamster here . What terminal did you work at ? I started in Bellows and transferred to St Johnsbury when there was an opening . Great company .
Agree on the great company. Worked occasional casual P&D at the Kearny, NJ terminal long ago and then occasional casual road and P&D after they moved to Moonachie.
