Physical

Also, check wit your state to see about registering your DOT medical card and how mu h time you have to do that. In some states, if you dont do it in time, they can cancel your cdl alrtogether.

What do you mean by registering your DOT medical card? If you got the DOT physical and you got a green medical card, is there something more that needs to be done?

Measurement from front of trailer to center of 5th wheel

I heard in a video that the measurement from the front of the trailer to the center of the fifth wheel is 3ft. Is this always the case?

500 miles a day and loving it

For what it is worth, I also packed an 8 pack of tp. My instructor laughed at me, but I enjoy certain comforts, and that is one of them. Im glad I did.

Do truck stops not provide TP or did you have to do your business in the truck? Not to get too personal here but why are you glad you did?

Is it difficult to get to a mail drop box?

Well, alot of it is depending on the state you are going to get it in....But the best way to handle your mail is have it sent to a trusted person at their address ( you will have to fill out a card for that). Then, if anything official comes in, they can hollar at you and let you know, and keep your mail safe until you get there to get it.We did the drop box...hated it, cuz it would get jammed to full, then they would charge us for storage...

I need to clarify my question. If I have something I want to mail, is it difficult to find a place to drop it off to mail?

On the Road Internet

I now have T Mobile. I have no complaints. I have unlimited Internet and roaming and text for two lines and pay 110$. The Internet isn't always very good.

With T Mobile internet, Is it usually fast enough to be able to watch movie streaming (Netflix) or youtube?

When you say two lines, do you mean phone and laptop?

Stupid question - when i hear about OTR drivers

Daniel You don't have to take 34 hour resets if you manage your time so that you can work off your re-cap hours,

What do you mean by work off your re-cap hours?

Can you give me some examples of managing your time?

Thanks, Mark
