My left turn signal flickers as if a bulb is out. I checked the bulbs and none are out. And I looked for the fuses but I can't find the fuses for the turn signal I need a little help finding out what's going on. Thanks

OK it's been a while since I've been on here . I started driving for Swift now 7 months ago and I'm going to stick it out for the year . Everything has been working out for the most part fairly well and I'm learning a lot . My only issue is the drive cam . At times it's been great on helping me point out my faults but then some times I feeling there nit picking. At one point they were trying to say I was on my but I was using my blue tooth which the company allows. And I'm starting to feel like the cam is used more to punish you than help you. On the flip side if anything were to happen and you did nothing wrong the cam is proof you did nothing wrong. And at times I catch my self looking up at that cam to much. I'm debating on looking for a company with out that cam after a year. That's if there are any out there that don't use it .

If you drive past your 11 hours and your looking for some place to park up how would you log that in ? Can you put that in as a 395.1 or just say you were looking for parking ?

Cool . Thank you .

Any one have any suggestions on where to park in Northeast Philly ? I got a parking ticket last night and definitely don't want another.

Thank you for helping me understand things a little bit better I appreciate it. I'm still new to this I've only bin out there now for a week and still learning the ropes . Grant it I'll learn something new everyday. Thanks again . It means a lot to me .

Maybe I miss under stood what I was told . Dispatch pay sounds about rite but I was told that it was called a live unload but they unload it . I made the mistake of not getting everything in writing.

Thank you for responding back and forth the advice . Those are questions I did not think about asking . I don't do any unloading they do all the unloading and if it takes them more than an hour to unload I get hourly pay . This is my first job as driver I was looking for good pay but also the experience more so the experience and I took into consideration the backing up into tight corners would be could for me . Definitely thank you for the advice.

It's been a while since I been on trucking truth and so far all I got was good advice . Well I got a gig with Swift and I'm on the Kmart dedicated account . For loaded miles I'm getting .51 .37 for empty miles 25.00 on unloads and 15.00 per stop . It sounds good to me but I'm not sure if it is or not . This is my first gig and want to know if I'm being paid fairly and what would be considered good weekly milage. If there's anyone else on the same account what's your opinion on this account. Thank you guys for what ever info you can give .

I'm definitely going to keep on trying. Thanks for the links to check out. I am not going to let my past mistakes define who I am now.
