My CDL test is scheduled for 9/26. Trying to decide between running OTR flatbed with Western Express, OTR 48 reefer with May, OTR 48 dry with Werner, or Werner's TCU Mexico run from Laredo to NJ (where I live).
Does anyone have info on Werner's TCU Mexico run?
I don't have any info on that particular run, but when I was in training, I was on a similar run going from Laredo to the Midwest.
On that run we hauled produce from Laredo up to the Midwest, then frozen pork from the Midwest to Laredo.
There is no shortage of freight. On the Laredo side, it's all drop and hook , but on the other end it's mostly liveload and live unload.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
A refrigerated trailer.
Drop and hook means the driver will drop one trailer and hook to another one.
In order to speed up the pickup and delivery process a driver may be instructed to drop their empty trailer and hook to one that is already loaded, or drop their loaded trailer and hook to one that is already empty. That way the driver will not have to wait for a trailer to be loaded or unloaded.
