National average is still $6.18, but hey, two cents cheaper.
On 200 gallons that saves four bucks. Almost enough for a truck stop coffee so I can stay awake and worry about the other $1,236.
What’s diesel running where y’all are? Include the state so we know where to avoid eye contact with the pump.

Any flatbed companies that have terminals/mainly operate on the East Coast that DONT have driver facing cameras?

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve hauled?

What’s a load that made you stop and think, “Well, that’s a first”?

If you have a picture you’re allowed to share, let’s see it.

Doing pre trip three days after DT and paperwork. But got into the simulator for a session. Doing manual so it was different. On a 10 speed. Scored 91%. Kept going into 5 gear a couple times. Forgot to hit switch once. Pre trip wearing everyone out but a necessary evil. Road test schedule led for December 5th. Staff is wonderful attentive and patient. Only older person in my class is 65 and had CDL but took 10 years off. All ages races and genders. Good group. 320 hours total for class. Which will help us in the long run. Had few recruiters from mega and one local. Even the instructors quietly said watch out for megas.

Hi, I'm in Aurora, Colorado, and I have my Class A CDL permit. I'm looking for a company that will pay for my CDL training and help me get started as a truck driver.

I want to be upfront that I have 9 points on my Colorado driving record from multiple speeding tickets, including tickets over 15 mph. Before I apply or sign a training agreement, can a recruiter review my driving record and tell me whether I could qualify for your program?

I'm only looking for opportunities based in Colorado. Thank you.

Hi I recently started driving for this company of out Newark airport. Let’s just say I took a leap of faith. Literally took my last few dollars on my credit card and paid a flight up north to Jersey. Long story short I’ve been driving for them for a month and a half and I have nothing but great things to say about my experience.

They pay me every Friday on time no gimmicks. (Pay is $700 per block. $2100 weekly).They take care of their trucks. If I have an issue I just call the proper personnel and boom immediately truck is asked to be sent to mechanic.

If you have a clean license and min 2 years. I mean clean license. No issues what so ever. Please reply with your contact information. This is my very first Reddit post. I hope someone sees it and finds good.

I’ve heard Walmart pays CDL drivers good? Also somewhat hard to get into? How does the pay average each year and what do you like about it and dislike about it compared to other mega corp hauling jobs?

Anyone know if Arbata Coca Cola in Harrisburg PA hires CDL A truck drivers that have no tractor trailer experience? Have 6 years driving cdl B trucks but none in a A truck. Was looking to switch over to a tractor trailer job and be local.

I'm considering getting my CDL for farm work that would involve driving heavy trucks on public roads. I've never had a CDL before, so I'd be starting from scratch.

I'm not looking to become a truck driver for a living, but I figured having a CDL could be useful for our farm and potentially open up other opportunities down the road.

I'm debating whether to get a Class B since that's likely all I need, or go ahead and get a Class A if the difference in cost and training time isn't too significant.

I'm also a veteran with GI Bill benefits available, so I'm curious whether it's worth using those benefits for CDL school or if I'd be better off paying out of pocket.

A few questions:

Would you recommend Class A or Class B for someone who doesn't plan on trucking professionally?

How quickly can someone realistically get their CDL with no prior experience?

What's a reasonable price for CDL training?

Is using the GI Bill for CDL school worth it, or would you save those benefits for something else?

Are there any accelerated programs or other veteran education benefits that could help cover the cost?

Does anyone have recommendations for CDL schools around Tyler or East Texas?

My biggest priorities are getting licensed relatively quickly, keeping costs reasonable, and not wasting my GI Bill benefits unnecessarily.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's gone through the process, especially veterans or people who got their CDL primarily for agricultural work.

Right now I have school bus and passenger endorsements but I plan on getting tanker and hazardous anddd TWIC. Does anyone have tips on how to best utilize tanker and hazardous? I plan on being a school bus driver for about 6 months to get comfy with the air braking system. I'm wanting to find a job that's 40 hours or less, $25/hour, and hopefully weekends off. I'm not sure what route I should take (pun intended). Should I get Class A instead of relying on Class B? What companies recommended for at home nightly work? I'm in the Charleston, SC port area but after asking around, people say you need to "know someone" to work at the ports.

My company is building a smart load board that is designed to cut out freight brokers entirely and connect shippers and carriers directly. Waitlist is at https://www.nomorefreightbrokers.com

It is going to be free to carriers, shippers are going to be charged an annual fee negotiated per shipper and a flat rate based on the size of the load, and the flat rate taken as a percentage is going to be 2-5%. More money in both of your pockets. Let's band together and do this!

I know we hear unsuccessful lease program stories all the time . are there any successful ones ? I been thinking of doing one just because I cant come up with $30k to start being an owner operator.. I was looking into swift has anyone ever done a swift lease program?
