The worst thing about trucking

What really sucks is you arrive 2 hours early from your appointment time and you are still the last truck to be loaded...

Failed my backing tests again! Ugh!

Stick with it and practice, the first time I tested I think I ran over every cone. the second time didn't hit a single one... you will get it...

Just want to clear something up

Averitt is 3 days orientation, then you go home and meet up with your driver trainer, you will be with them for 5 weeks (Monday thru Friday), when you finish with the trainer you go for a week of backing school, then on to your own truck...

Qualcomm timing shenanagans

This is the same problem (I thought it was just me) I posted a while back, you cannot drive over 5mph or it will not count. it got me on my 10 hour. I drove around yard to fuel pumps to fill up not thinking about it, had to do a 8- 10 split...waisted 2 hours af time I needed to deliver.

Electronic logs: a minor change.

I posted earlier about a Quallcomm problem I was having but it turns out it is all related, I was starting to drive right as my clock hit the 30 minute mark for my break, I was told if you start driving right at that time it will revert back to the previous minute (29) so I wait till 31 minutes now and no problems

Something odd with my Qualcomm

How much time is left on your 11 hour drive clock or your 14 hour clock when you take your 30 minutes?

I run my 8 down to about an hour or so, still have 3 drive to get added when I stop for my 30 minute, 14 is more than drive. I credits my time on the Quall, but then it goes back to the original 8 timer.
