Sent Home From Roehl

I had a similar experience in CDL school in the sense, everyone from the previous classes that failed were stacked into our class which cut into our practice time. Lucky for me I had some backing experience but if not for that, I likely would of failed.

What is the deal with 1099 trucking jobs? Is there a catch?

Edit to my above post, I meant to say a higher tax rate. 3.5% higher but don’t quote on percentage.

You also will end up paying a high tax rate. I want to say 3.5% but don’t quote me on percentage.

ADHD Medication

It’s a controversial drug a lot of physicians won’t prescribe. Plus it would be hard to differentiate a positive test result for adderal vs amphetamine usage.

My first month as a local driver…

I’m actually working as a short haul shuttle driver moving trailers between 3 different facilities, no more than a hour away. I usually work 12pm to 10:30 and off on Sunday. Although on Saturday, I usually work as a yard jockey.

My first month as a local driver…

I recently graduated my CDL class about six weeks ago(paid out of pocket)and it took a few weeks to get hired by a company. I just just completed my first month of work and absolutely LOVE IT!!! I’ve been clocking close to 70hrs a week and really don’t feel burnt out at all. I guess if you enjoy your job that makes all the difference. I definitely have learned 10 times more in the last month than my entire cdl course(I really learned very little in my cdl class). I just wanted to post this as encouragement to other cdl students and recent grads have a good weekend my friends.

Yard driver???

Well, I actually have 2. One is 14 and suffers from Cushings disease and the other is 5 and would be a good candidate for taking on the road.

What prevents you from taking your dog? Too big? Maybe you can figure out a way. Good luck!

Yard driver???

My other question is, would this work be considered tractor trailer experience since we do occasionally move trailers to other facilities? I know a strictly yard driven position wouldn’t but how about in this case?

Yard driver???

Thanks for everyone’s comments.

I’m currently living in North Carolina.

It would help more, if new people joining here, would put WHERE they live, etc, so they can get more direct answers to your questions.

My last company runs local up and down California, up into Oregon & Washington state routes. Or just locally here, in LA, Orange,San Berdoo, Riverside counties. Big Lot DC's, Wal-Mart DC's, water bottle loads, paper rolls, general freight, etc within Calif. They ONLY require 3-9 months experience, and pay like $25 hourly to start
