Have to agree with Old School on this one. I have a 2016 Freightliner and I just turned 400000 miles on it. Something isn't right. Did you by chance look at the maintenance records on this rig?

Do Any Of You Get Up This Way?
The only time I get that way is when I'm running a Ben and Jerrys run from St Albans Vermont to Henderson Nv which is usually in the summer. I'll look you up if I take that run.

Information on failed dot drug test for driving school.
This is the way it will go down. "Have you ever failed a drug test in order for employment or pre employment?" That's the question they will ask. Your best bet is to apply to as many company's as you can and be honest with the question.
The investigation is thorough and not telling them is just not an option Good Luck.

Please offer some opinions!!!!!! HELP!!!!
I am pretty sure this isn't something a physician will do without consultation and an office visit. Personally you need to get home and see your physician immediately without delay.
As far as the company be vague but insistent about needing to get home to see your doctor. Until you know for sure you have to believe it can be managed. Good luck

Always take those messages seriously. Your best bet is to contact your fleet manager and see if sales can get you in early.

Uber taking over trucking industry?????
Never going to happen Uber isn't large enough to compete. Although they are innovative the top 10 logistic company's are just as big and already have a solid infrustructure in place. Although I'm certain they may bring some innovation, shippers aren't going to abandon the way that has been proven.
As it stands now freight is already too cheap, in order for Uber to compete they will need to lower percentages in order be viable.

Advice from trainers.
As an instructor at Prime I have found that certain students respond and learn differently than others. At the interview I always looked for students that were had a slightly different demeanor then myself.
I've found that students I've had too much in common with to be detrimental to our objective. At the interview if a student agreed with me 100% of the time I usually passed on them. I like students that open up and ask a lot of questions. Others have already touched on the basics that students do. I.E. don't swing wide enough, grind gears etc. These things do not concern me, that's what you came to learn. Of course some take longer than others.
Things that bother me are the things that are harder to change, disrespect, swearing, knowing everything when you know nothing, or invading my personal space. Which on my truck is very little.
