Looking For Smaller Company In The South.
Topic 19339 | Page 1
Any reason you don't want to drive for a medium to large company?
You will have to be someplace that has trucks pre 2000 if you are looking to avoid E-logs.
Not really intending on avoiding electronic logs just wanting to get a feel for a smaller company, that's not family owned (mine).
Electronic Logs:
Electronic Onboard Recorder
Electronic Logbook
A device which records the amount of time a vehicle has been driven. If the vehicle is not being driven, the operator will manually input whether or not he/she is on duty or not.
I know of a company thats fairly decent from what I've been told but their in Alabama, dunno if that helps you or not, but I know that their looking for CDL drivers, names Gamble or Gamble trucking, something like that, based as far as I know out of um... Mount Olive AL, only reason I don't go with them is because I want to do OTR and up into Canada and I want a larger company to work for.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
OTR:
Over The Road
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.
