Hi all,
In the midst of studying I also take time to read whats on the forum. I have come across a few drivers who do not like the idea of being sent to New York or the Northeast. While checking out trucking companies I found most also give a $ incentive if one drives to New York. What is the big deal here, besides the roads being narrow???

Thank you Redgate. Looks like a question to add to my list when I finally get to talk to a recruiter.

Yap, I did starcar but did not get a reply to my question. Thanks for your reply. Was hoping anyone out there had actually done that and was curious to know. Guess not. Have a great day.

Hi, still studying for my permit and I came across this answer. Can someone elaborate on the first sentence please?
"You must remain within four hours of the current time and it must be done in pen. And don't tell the officer where he can "stick it" as you hand him your book!"

Hi,
Is one allowed to accumulate off days and take one long vacation in addition to the regular vacation days? i.e., I work for 6 weeks straight earning 6 off days, but instead of taking the 6 days I only take 4 leaving a balance of 2 days etc, or will it depend on the company you work for?

Driving in New York
Thanks for your replies. Thought it was something to do with lack of truck routes, NY regulations or something more sinister.
