Let me fix this not all tanker trucks are condos only the freightliners even then some are midroofs and 98% of the Peter's are midroofs with hood caps the mid west regional are international mid roofs

I'm fairly certain that the extra 5cpm for lightweights is only in the reefer division.

Flatbed trucks are all condos.

Tanker trucks are all condos with the exception of some lease driver's on dedicated accounts.

Reefer trucks are condo or lightweight. You get an extra 5cpm in a lightweight. You also get another extra 5cpm if you run East coast regional I believe.

You can be company as a tanker driver. One other thing that must be considered cause it affected me, your home! I was told I couldn’t go tanker cause I live in Orlando, Fl. They mostly run a triangle from Savanna, GA to Newark, NJ to Decatur, IL if I remember correctly. But you will get longer runs too. If I remember correctly IC24k ran some loads out west too. But yeah, make sure you’re clear about your home not being a disqualifier.

Also, if you run in a lightweight, it’s an extra .05 cents per mile. So that .49 cent now becomes .54 cents. Huge motivation in my decision to go that route. Too bad it didn’t work out for me. Good luck!

Does anyone have any information on Stevens Transport for their tanker division like actual pay if they are worth a crap

Anyone if it has the 3 hole quick connect hidden. In the cubby somewhere I can't find anything that has to do with power I've removed the plate and black box found ant cojax and speaker connection but no power any help is appreciated

No just the fan

Do you have the heater on????

When air is blowing through my vents doesn't matter if up front or in the sleeper it has an odd smell reminds me of rubber. Do I something acting up or do I just need an air freshener? Just got the truck.

No I don't have a machine I have been told 2 different things at prime I have to get tested for sleep apnea cause of my BMI everything else was great BP and the rest of the physical since I have to do a sleep apnea test and find out that I have it do I only get a 30 day card so they can see if I'm compliant and if I do does that mean I have to redo the DOT physical again or do I get a 1 year card ?

Hey all went well with the physical I have to take a sleep apnea test now lady at orientation said that they might just give me a 30 day card for the machine to get a history if that is the case do I redo the entire physical? Or will I get the 1 year med card

That's a major drop just from drinking water and relaxing I'm at prime now and stressing I just did my BP in the drivers lounge and it was 142/92

I was reading your diary and I saw you had BP issues and saw you passed primes DOT physical still being over the 140/90 requirement did they just give you a 1 year card or how did that work

So I'm bus bound today for Prime and I'm beyond nervous I packed one bag with everything I need and carrying my CPAP and sleeping bag and pillow with me, kinda bummed I only had enough for clothes can't pack my shoes I'll be wearing my steel toed ones on the bus any advise from anyone for this ride or anything else I'll take it

That sucks I leaving Saturday at 315 pm

I don't get that cause I was told any division would work fine cause company would let you take truck home I think tanker was only division that was limited

Man it was really close between prime and cfi and I mean super close so close I hope I picked wisely

Best of luck to you! I'm not far behind you. I'm heading to train with CFI on Saturday. I am nervous and excited as well.

Alright it's time this Saturday I'm taking the famous bus ride to Springfield, MO for my prime orientation beyond nervous got my BP naturally down to under 140/90 heart rate back down and I'm beyond nervous but yet excited all at the same time I think reality is setting in about being away from my wife and kids but I'm pushing on I know what division im wanting and my plans with prime are in my head.

Woooooo!!!! Here we go

I'm sure you did! I looked at Prime too but was limited to flatbed because of where I live and wanted to start with dry van. The other good thing is that there is more than one good choice.

Where you leaving from I am leaving from Tennessee

I'm sure this topic comes up often but I've been told that drinking beet juice will significantly lower your BP has anyone tested this or anything?

So not worried of any physical activity required I'm a physically normal person stuck in a fat man's body 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Listen I have to be honest, I am supper excited about starting orientation and after doing over year of research on this career I'm pumped to get started, but I have to be honest I'm not worried about my BP or my heart rate or anything but I am very worried about my weight being an issue like I'm going to be eliminated cause of it I'm 375lbs and 6'0 tall I do a very active and physical job now so I don't feel at all I am lazy in the workforce, I'm a big dude but not rollie pollie looking. I have been on a very strict diet and exercising everyday, but this still weighs on my mind (no pun intended) is this something I should stress or not stress about. The company I'm starting with is Prime

What in the hell did I just read at around page 3 I realized I was drooling from my mouth and felt lost and confused I honestly hope he never drives a truck again I wouldn't trust this guy with a glow stick on the 4th of July

I'm not sure I think they are still urine but about to start doing hair

I have plans on attending Swift Memphis terminal or Utah terminal driving academy. Could any one tell me if they do hair follicle testing or urine for drugs! I’ve seen a lot of older forums on this subject just was seeing if I could get any updated info concerning that matter. Please help!
