Profile For Errol V.

NaeNae sez

zthe point is having different tone sets for each ear, so the effect is greater using a headset.

Yes that's true. I'm one who tried binaural in a good headset, but tossing & turning turned them into "rocks" on my pillow. A small bedside speaker is second best.

Those sleep sounds are worth a try. Spotify & YouTube have them. Headphones or bedside speaker.

One important thing is you consciously choose your bedtime, and let others in your house know you will be "Do Not Disturb" then. If you need to hit the sack at 5pm, so be it.

BTW the wake up-work-do stuff-sleep cycle is the usual way we all live. Wake up-Do stuff-work-sleep is not so easy to maintain.

Try Big M Transportation in Blue Mountain, MS.

My brother-in-law drove for Bug M for years. A good and not big company.

Most all big fleets are using auto-shift trucks. Not to worry.

Efrain, technically the automatic thing is a restriction, not an endorsement. But it's not really going to "restrict" your career. Like Stevo says, automatics are easier to drive. I learned on a manual, but when I was assigned an auto-shift, t said I'm not going back. It's too easy to drive!

Any truck fleet owner will choose the automatics because the tranny is more fuel efficient, easier to work on and less prone to getting "ground up" by drivers.

A "secret": the automatic shift transmission is actually the old style gearbox with a computer controlled clutch and shifter.

Sandman looks up W &A:

62 trucks and 63 drivers

Team or slip seating could explain the truck/driver radio. At any rate, your home location isn't that important. Many drivers do not live near a company terminal and do fine, get home when they need to.

This is the third time you've asked this question. Are you writing a book?

Francisco A says:

I don't speak English

Sorry, Francisco, there is Federal regulation that Commercial Motor Vehicle drivers

Can read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records.

Francisco A dice:

No hablo inglés

Lo siento, Francisco, la Regulación Federal exige que los conductores de vehículos comerciales motorizados:

puedan leer y hablar inglés lo suficiente como para conversar con el público en general, comprender las señales de tráfico en inglés, responder a consultas oficiales y realizar anotaciones en informes y registros.

Cfc misunderstands!:

It's my understanding trucking school is not required to get your CDL or SPE certificate, just as driving school is not required to get your driver license.

You are required to train in a registered school. The FMCSA keeps track of your training in the Training Provider Registry

Errol V … thank you so much for the permit testing link. It seems extremely thorough!!

It worked for me 12 years ago! It has been upgraded since then.
