Parking has been an issue forever and the more trucks the more they have a problem. I had to finally park at a Wal-Mart last night but a few trucks joined me

Update: We are in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ran into some awful weather but finally made it to a Walmart for the night. Bolt Custom Trucks this morning to get a new mattress (Pillowtop) and a couple of cabinets fixed. Now we are sitting at Thermo King waiting for a NIS Test and Inspection. This HAS...

We were at Bolt Custom Trucks this morning for almost 4 hours and now at Thermo King and they say it will be around 500pm. 5 trucks ahead of us. But we are almost to Ohio to chill before orientation. So far so good.

We will be staying in our truck all week. I do not know if we can stay at Fed Ex or if we have to go to a Truck Stop. Our dog is going to be with us. Tiny 12lb dog. We are not sure how to handle that situation. When we drove before he just stayed inside while we either loaded, unloaded or took...

Josh, it sounds like you guys signed on with a great owner as well. Trucks are going to have issues so I feel like you guys got a good truck but just are having some issues. We had most of our issues in the past during the winter months. Thank you for the information on parking. I looked up...

Uodate: Just got word we are leaving on Thursday morning to head to Jeffersonville, Indiana to get a PM on the reefer unit. So truck pickup tomorrow at 1000am, grocery shopping, pack truck and leave around 500am. Almost 13 hour drive from Maypearl, Texas. Reality has just set in! Stoked yet...

Josh thank you for the information on Orientation. Did you do a truck inspection before you entered the building? We pick up our truck on the 3rd. So I am assuming they will let us know this stuff. We are there for 5 days of training. It should be very informative. Thank you for the information...

Josh let us know when you get back out there and how things are going. Countdown to orientation has begun. We moved all our belongings to storage yesterday. Tired and sick. 6 days until we leave. Did you go to training in Uniontown Ohio?

BigStickJr, you are absolutely right about things being totally different before. When we first got our CDL we fell into a LTL position at FFE Transportation. They paid revenue bonuses every month, hotels were provided and the money was amazing. Somewhere in that process they started falling...

Yes sir. We figure that the more we know through different training the more advantage we may have with someone sitting right next to us. My experience with Panther seems to be a lot of out of pocket expenses. My owner really took care of us as far as truck, orientation, etc.

Riffsimm Good Luck out there. We are leaving on January 5th for orientation on the 8th. We are packing as well. Pretty excited to get out and get moving. Merry Christmas!

Gear Grinder you both seem to to headed in the direction you have mapped out for yourselves. I am glad you chose to go to school. I have always believed it is the best way to go. You will find your owner or maybe that one owner will find you. Lol. I bet you are in orientation by end of January...

We are with Godspeed. Owner Operator is very knowledgeable and nice. He has stood by us and waited for us to make our move. Our lease (housing) was up in January. We both already had Class A CDL. When are you guys going to start the hiring process?

Josh thank you for your reply, We head to orientation on the 5th of January. Orientation is on the 8th. The only thing that FedEx has not received is the Employment Verifications. I believe mine is there but one of my husbands is not. I hope that your Christmas is merry and bright. Thank you for...

Update: We received confirmation today that we are approved to attend orientation on January 8th. We now pick up our truck on January 3rd. We will put our stuff in the truck and leave on January 5th, Received our ELD logins and employee information today. It was a crazy process but I am sure it...

Hey guys I hope everyone's weekend is going well. My husband and I have been packing boxes, preparing to put all belongings in storage. The last communication we received from Fed Ex is they are waiting for our Skills Evaluation Certificate to put us in service. We contacted our Owner Operator...

60/40 Split. Now this is working under an established owner operator. I feel like it is worth the time and effort. I researched every aspect. Now when we get out there that's another story. Lol. I am glad I chose this company.

Josh I have been following you since we started this hiring process with Fed Ex Custom Critical. My husband and I are team drivers and currently going the through the PSP process. We have done everything they have asked of us and are waiting the results of the drug tests. Really not sure what is...

Update: We have been on information overload since Monday. We both filled out the online application on Monday. Then we received a Remote Qualification through our email. We had to watch modules and do mini tests. Signed a lot of notices and uploaded photos of CDL, Med Card and Photo. On Tuesday...

It is a straight truck with a good size sleeper. I figure that we will be okay but this type of trucking is different. I already kick myself for not even considering this option before now. It will definitely be a wild ride! Tennesseehawk thank you, I hope this is a lucrative experience for us!!
