More lives than an alley cat

Significant accomplishment Bruce. Happy for you.

Congratulations!

From what I remember; 5 in one day. PA, NJ, NY, CT, & MA. I used to get the Pottsville to New England WM run every Saturday. Usually a 3 store stop route.

Boston was the first, April of 1976 Philadelphia Spectrum.

Billy Joel was the best. Saw him a half a dozen times before ticket prices skyrocketed.

Congratulations!

Tri-axle. More versatile and easier to maneuver.

I answered your question a while back…

I do not want to discourage you at all…but, knowing what I know; I would not recommend this type of job without at least 6 months experience. There are places I go that still cause me to sweat. Conditions of active job sites can change by the hour.

Being the truck geek that I am…stretched frames are to me incredibly cool.

You could be more respectful Terry. Try that approach next time…

It is rare that a reputable company will consider a driver who has completed SAP. In the current market…I’d go with “impossible”.

Uber for you.

It simply means they don't hire people who've had to go through the Substance Abuse Program. If you want to get back into trucking failing a D.O.T. drug test, you must go through a SAP program. Going thru the program does not give a mandate saying trucking companies must hire you. Some of them simply won't take that risk.

Thank you for the response and information. However, you could (should) have stopped after the first sentence. I didn't ask about any of those other things.

Additionally, you are incorrect. Upon further research, I have found that most job listings that indicate "no SAP" are referring to people who are actively in the RTD process, typically on the last step (Follow-Up Testing Plan). They are willing to hire someone who has obtained a drug test violation and completed the RTD process in the past, they just don't want to deal with the RTD process themselves (excessive drug testing, not enough time since test fail, requirement to post test results to FMCSA Clearinghouse, etc.).

In the future, I'll research just a bit more before posting questions. :)

That particular area north of Aramingo Ave to Callowhill ST was under construction for several years and only recently was completed.

95 through Philly construction delays are perpetual…
