Don't give the company any reason to fire you. Know where your going, how to get there, how much time you need on the road and in the sleeper and know what the destination looks like. BUY YOUSELF A LAPTOP AND USE GOOGLE MAPS AND SATELITE VIEW OF THE BUILDING YOUR GOING TO. BUY A GPS FOR TRUCKS ALSO. The qualcom messages are a mess. Keep your speeds around 57-60 and you'll get 7-8 mpg Companies like that. Don't get tikets and don't report trailer bumps in your terminal or stupid little scratches that you think you should. once you report in about it to your safety dept. it becomes an accident. You DAC will say accident. It won't say, " YOU DUMPED ANOTHER TRAILER BUT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE" The safety people only know how to report "ACCIDENTS". ONCE YOU CALL THE SAFETY DEPT ABOUT ANYTHING ( SPILT COFFEE ) IT BECOMES AN ACCIDENT. IF IT INVOLVES ANOTHER COMPANY KEEP A COOL HEAD, EVALUATE THE SITUATION, TALK TO THE OTHER DRIVER THEN DECIDE BETWEEN YOURSELVES IF IT'S WORTH REPORTING. DON'T BE STUPID LIKE ME. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY. Keep your job by on time pick up and delivery.
