1. Buy a big bag of kitty litter and keep it in your truck it can help you when the roads are bad when you pull in a spot for the night stop just before the end of the parking spot stop put some kitty litter where your drive tires will be at then back on top of the kitty litter and it will help you when you get ready to pull out 2. Learn to putt chains on before the roads get bad it will save you time if you know how to put them on and when you hit bad weather and your out in the cold trying to learn and the chains keep slinging off it sucks learn this one the hard way 3. Try to drive in day light hours Hope is this helps and if anyone can add to this I am sure it will help us all

I don't know if a lot of people know this but sometimes if you go to court on it ask the judge if you pay the ticket in full at once if he will keep it off your record or get a lawyer but I have talked to the judge and it was agreed if I paid in full he kept it off my record

You have ten hours you have to stop not driving so you stop for the night are you gonna sleep for the hole ten ? I don't so sleep 8 you have 2 hours to do pretty much what you want you say it takes you bout 45 mins to shower make up and what not then you have an hour and 15 to do paperwork eat or whatever

My good friend Stump, how are you doing sir?

Here's what you must do. Before you can even get your hazmat you need to apply for it. The TSA background check will let you know if you qualify. If you apply and get approved then you're good to go. But they'll be the judge.

Prior to seeking or renewing the Hazardous Materials Endorsement, you must complete the application for the fingerprint and security background checks. Call 877-429-7746 or visit http://hazprints.tsa.dhs.gov to complete the application process and make an appointment at a convenient location. The fee must be paid at the time of application.

I am doing pretty good I just quit my first driving job the company kept telling me one thing and doing another and payday is fri and here it is Monday he still has not paid me all of my check and it's been like that for the month I have been driving for him but the good news is my cousin is putting 3 of his trucks on with a company and he offered me a job so I hope it will work out and I am gonna do the background check for the hazmat and just hope for the best thanks for the help

I have 1 felony of organized crime from like 1998 another one in 2011 for assault both I did prison time I have my Cdl I would really like to know if it's possible for me to get my hazmat I have done some research on it and it looks like I might have a chance if anyone can help it would be a big help thanks

I'm kinda curious as to this organized crime charge... I'm not judging or anything but that's a big charge and would love to hear/read the details... Not to make of course but I don't know but I'm curious.... But totally up to you though.

When I was 17 me and two other friends broke into a house well I didn't go in the house but I was there and didn't try to stop it so I was just as guilty when they put us in jail the charge was burglary of a habitat but they dropped that charge and gave us the organized crime because there was 3 or more people involved they said it was organized if I had the money I could have had the charge dropped to a lesser crime but I grew up poor

For me it's because I use to remember when my dad would pull up in his bright and shiny peterbilt and knowing that summer was here and I knew that I would get to be with my dad in that truck all summer long and I loved everything bout being on the road so I was burned out doing what I was doing so I said I am going to do what I know I would be good at and loved it as a kid and I am still a rookie been running for 3 weeks had some hard times in this 3 weeks but out of 8 drivers I have became the go to guy got a raise I love it all since my dad passed in 2008 I get to just ride and think of the times we had when I was a kid the old times say once you get the Diesel in ur veins u can never get it out I think I was born with in mine

I am new also but I was in a long nose pete and now I am in a frightliner and I had a easier time in the pete peterbilts don't turn as sharp so you have to make ur turn wider and go deeper before you start ur turn if I am making sense I am sure some more guys can help you more and I hope I helped a little

I didn't go to school I got on with a brand new company in my area but none of the big companies would take me so it can be done it just takes a lot of work on ur part to find the one that will take you good luck

I am a rookie and I tell you I do it how you are doing I feel safe doing like that and I don't care if other truckers get mad cause am going slow and the end of the day I want to be a live so I say ur doing it rt because ur doing what feels safe for you and I have went from tex to cal so I got a taste of them keep doing what feels safe good luck
