Profile For Area51trucking

From experience, I've seen doubles back before (Ups). It took a lot of pull ups! I talked to a Fed Ex driver once and he said that you always look for a spot to pull through and to park where it's easy to exit a truck stop. Not sure how parking for the night works. I see doubles parked at hotels most of the time. I guess the company pays for that? I'm sure 6 string knows.

As far as truckload companies that pull for LTL companies, I can't help you there. If you were interested, you might be able to just work for an LTL company - if they're in you're area. That way you could be earning LTL wages while pulling those doubles.

Thanks for responding! Truckload or ltl (doesn't matter) I am interested. I'm not far from Memphis, TN. Ltl companies are moving through there everyday. Southeastern, Con-way, Old Dominion etc. I have all my endorsements if that's needed.

Hello everyone,

I am almost a year in driving. My question is what companies out there have accounts that pull doubles? I have seen other companies like crst that have pulled yrc doubles or werner pulling abf etc. How can I get on one of these accounts? I'm not expecting doubles to be easy or less challenging than a 53 footer. I'm interested that's all! Any feedback is appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I'm thinking about driving west coast starting sometime in January. I have a few reasons for wanting to. Mainly because of the scenery. I been out there once before with my trainer but I'm scared. I'm afraid because I'm getting messages from safety talking about tickets and accidents related to driving out west. Also because of chain laws and the laws are strict out there. I have been driving east coast for the last 7 months. I have hardly seen any topics on the subject. Any info on driving out west would be greatly appreciated! Thank you guys.
