Check into grocery brokers (McLane) or restaurant supply (Sysco, Gordon) These are mostly home-daily jobs. You make several stops and unload but it's not as stressful as dollar stores. Walmart has a good distribution system, too.

Signed Bills of Lading (delivered) are most drivers' paycheck. So we are motivated to get the papers to the office as soon as possible. The most common way is a scanning app on our phones - either a proprietary company one or one available in the app store.

Still around is the truck stop scanner (Transflo) - basically an automated desktop scanner. I don't know what would happen if you stopped at a terminal and handed signed bills through the dispatch window.

If depends on the reason they were let go. Do you have more details?

I as in Uvalde, TX for the show. Cloudy the whole time but for a few moments/seconds when the eclipse popped through. Under the clouds, the approaching darkness looked like a really bad rainstorm approaching, but no rain. Yes, the birds started doing their evening routine since the light was disappearing.

As the darkness passed, I caught an interesting view in the clouds:

Not really a sunset, since it was around 2:30 in the afternoon. The next day (Tuesday) I caught the moon's first crescent at sunset:

A friend was in the rest area at I-10/Kerrville. He told me there was no room at the rest area for nearly any vehicle. And once the show was over, no one heeded the highway sign advice:

Park early or leave later.

I endured rush-hour style traffic from Uvalde to San Antonio,

I posted a diary of my first solo week at Swift. After a few weeks, my routine was not like this at all. Learn from every mistake. Experience is your best teacher. That's where all the above advice came from.

Pianoman pats me on on the back:

Hey congrats on your new gig btw!! Sorry I meant to reply to your thread and never got to it. I’ve heard lots of good things about custom critical

Thank you. More to come shortly. I will have to delay my start for a few months. Family matters.

Pianoman makes a wild guess:

This sounds AI generated

I was thinking that, too. No real trucker would use such flowery language.

BK's videos are from the ET Transport channel. These guys " shoot straight" about trucking issues.

Santoy, you are not riding with a trainer. You have been driving for a lazy driver who likes the training money and wants you to do the part he doesn't want to do (drive at night).

The training system allows your trainer to team drive but he gets all the mileage pay while the company pays you for getting trained. (I don't with for Prime. I may be wearing about the training system.)

A trainer is there to train you, not for you to be his assistant. If he won't let you back the truck you are getting the short end of the stick. How can you do the hardest part of driving without learning how to back from an experienced driver?

Please let the training office know that your trainer is not training you.
