How Can You Do That? A Puzzler for New and Future Drivers

You started your 14 hour clock at 2100 Saturday, drove 6 hours to 0300, took a 30 minute break, then drove from 0330 for 5 hours until 0830, then commenced your 10 hours off duty break (there's no 8 hour sleeper rule FYI). So now at 1830 you do you required PTI in 15 while fueling and off you go for 6 more hours until 0030 now Monday morning, take your 30 minute break and rock out the rest from 0100 until 0600 which traveling at 62 mph the whole leaves you 164 miles to spare! Now tell me I'm wrong embarrassed.gif

Trucking Companies with APU

Scott I couldn't find anthing about the VA training facility on the mobile site. I'll look again on a real computer. But so you know where it is? Also, do they have a pet policy? It's not a deal breaker, but I would love a place that would allow me to have my dog.

I attended it last month, it's in Ridgeway, right on the North Carolina border near there terminal in Eden, NC (only a mile apart). They don't allow pets, riders yes. Small class sizes and tons of behind the wheel time (3 week with guaranteed employment), nice range with no more than 2 students to a truck for backing practice, road driving depends on the class size (12 is max) so max road driving is 6 to a truck. They training and you'll get licensed on a manual, and probably start solo on one, as they are phasing those models out and newbies get the older equipment but within a year you'll get a automatic, same goes for the TV and direct tv, only about 2/3 of the trucks have them but within a year they all will.

Millis Transfer has an unlimited idle policy (use to have a bonus for not but did away with it). So with an inverter, fridge and now 24 inch flat screen with Direct Tv sat &NFL ticket you can set the A/C to artic and relax all you want. Awesome miles and pay plan to boot and going to automatics over the next year completely.

Bonus miles question

You'd think I'd know what my company's pay plan is, but I screwed up the mileage bonus, it' .03 2000+ miles, then .03 once over 2500, and .05 for 3000+ all from mile one. dancing.gif
