Newbie Questions

You don’t need to know how to work on a Diesel engine or really the mechanics of the engine. You will need to be able to learn some things as to how your brakes work (part of the CDL exam). And they’ll teach you things about the truck in school also. But it’s pretty basic stuff that you’ll need to know in order to do a complete and proper pre-trip.

What is your trucking pet peeve?

Drivers that are too lazy to properly dispose of their bodily excrement’s weather liquid or solid so they just throw it in the parking lot.

Terminal rats and super truckers

Is this job a scam?

Another consideration even if he’s legit..If he’s really just starting out and you hire on, say 6 months in he folds up shop..where’s it leave you. Most likely you won’t have much of a job history because they won’t be able to verify anything. Plus mentioned a family, does he have any benefit pkg that would be helpful to your family?

Have had CDL for a year but no experience. Who will hire me and train me?

Technically unless it’s changed recently, if you fail a pre employment hair test they can’t share it because it’s not DOT authorized. Would I feel comfortable testing that rule, NO WAY. Take the advice given and wait. I wouldn’t even consider it until I was clean a minimum of 3 months but preferably 6 for a hair test. Also I personally know a driver that just failed a U/A test because he ate a couple CBD gummies.
