Need advice for Monthly Truck Parking Lot

I recently started using Truck Parking Club as needed. It's an app that shows cost for what's available, daily weekly monthly. I have no clue as to the ins and outs of a property owner getting hooked up with them but you can look into that as an option.

Cape Fear Community College Truck Driver Training Log

Welcome to the forum. Travis hasn't been active here in quite a while. If you're not getting the quality training where you're at, the everpresent recommendation here is to go through company-sponsored training so maybe you can get on with one of those. Just so you know though, some won't take those who started training elsewhere. If you post about that or anything else in the general section, you'll get more views/responses. Good luck.

Applying with 1 less month of experience than required

I agree, can't hurt to apply. If they pass and the position is still open when you meet their minimum, you can reapply.

Your training time won't count. When a company is looking for a minimum experience, they're looking for experience after you got your CDL.

Fired during training

Zen Joker and I both work for Veriha and are happy here. There's also posts from a member who hasn't been on in a long time (can't recall the name) as well as at least another training diary about them. We do mainly Midwest though not specifically STL, but I know drivers out of TX, TN and PA. And I've been doing more STL runs and just did a KC run. Any questions, ask away and ZJ and I will do our best.

Finished school

Paul, I felt the same way starting where I did about maybe making more elsewhere. But like you I'm glad I started (and stayed) with them. Good luck in your recovery!

Trucker Path

I use the free version for finding hole in the wall parking options, what time certain truck stops are likely to fill up and how big they are, and sometimes seeing how many weigh stations I'll be going through.

I have an atlas. I don't use it as much as I used to because I go to a lot of the same places that I'm familiar with. It's great though for ensuring your route won't meet any low bridges and I wouldn't want to travel without one.

Knight to get AI Netradyne Cameras

My truck makes a honking sound if my right turn signal is on and it thinks a car is there. Oftentimes that car it thinks is sees is a Jersey barrier or some other object. Scares me every time. When I was knew I'm sure more than once I swerved back into my lane thinking a car was doing the honking.

12 hour tire change

That sounds brutal Bobcat. I've been spending a lot of time in shops recently. I've had problems when hooking to some but not all trailers where certain lights wouldn't work. All they'd do is change the green cord but usually within a week the problem would return. I finally got it in to my company shop who found corrosion behind the connection on the tractor side. So hopefully I can stop sending in breakdown messages.

Looking for CB radio advice

I have a Cobra 29LTD Classic. I started with the Cobra that has built-in weather, I think the model Bobcat has, but got rid of it because the weather alerts would come across even when it was off somehow. Kept waking me up on my 10 so I switched.

I second what ZenJoker said. It's money well spent. I've had great results from the CB shop at the Petro in Atlanta. Heard good things about the one he mentioned as well.
