I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Coll. I am 40 years old female and I was born in North Africa but now I am in Houston Texas. I was at work last night and I was surfing the net and I came accross this truck driver forum and I read a lot of the postings and I found alot of them to be very interesting. I have been in a truck for about 15 years but in 2006 I took a break but not by choose, I was shipped over to Bagram, Afghanistian and I got back in 2007. Right now I am working local work and I hate it with a passion but I wanted to be close to my family.

Now, the reason I was surfing the net last night is because I was promoted to a position where when they hire a new driver I will be the one that gives them the road test, the only problem is that this company I am with has never given any driver a road test before they hired them. So, anyway, long story short I am trying to come up with a form (like a check list) for the road test but I have looked at so many web sites and I have not been able to find any. I am trying to find a form like the DMV has or something like it with like a point system. Can anyone point me in the right direction to try to find one. If I can find a rough draft of one I will put one together myself but I am not sure what all I should have on the form.
If anyone can help me with this I would very much appreciate it.

I hope that each and everyone of you and your families have a blessed Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year

Thx Coll

 

I am sorry for the font on the very first message I just did but this was my first message and I did not realize that the fonts where so darn big.

Merry Christmas
Coll:rofl::clap:

 

Coll, we call that shouting.
After reading your post, I figured you were with an Artillery Regiment.

Welcome to CAD. :thumbsup:

 

I'd like to introduce myself, on the record I've been driving trucks since I was 18, off the record since I was able to reach the pedals(on back roads of course).

I'm not a long distance driver or anything, I'm actually a tree climber and drive trucks to get the light and heavy equipment to the job site and remove debris. Now I'm a licenced crane operator and use a 38 ton crane on a Sterling with a 350 hp CAT 8LL and tridem drive axles.

I have a little bit of tractor trailer experience, but most of the time I drive a single axle dumptruck with anything from a 12 ton equipment trailer to a 2.5 ton chipper hitched to it.

Welcome aboard, classictruckman!

Sounds like you have a cool job. :thumbsup:

 

Thanks, growing up I always wanted to be a long distance driver, but having a family at a young age and a well established family business waiting for me, it just made more sense to be home almost every night.

 

I'll throw in a quick introduction. I'm 26, been driving the past 4 and a half years. Been working the job I've got now about a year and a half, and I'm liking it pretty good. I make it home every night and off on the weekends. I live in the Chattanooga, TN area. I like to fish and watch football. I've got a wife and 2 kids. Don't expect a ton of posts from me, usually I lurk around here surfing on my blackberry and it's a pain to actually post anything from it. But, if I can ever get to a computer, I'll try to make a little productive noise.

 

Welcome jkilgore. There are a few of us from your neck of the woods here. Gman is in Chattanooga, I'm in Dalton and Fredog lives over yonder ( east ) somewhere in the sticks. :lol:

As for as your lurking problem: The first step is admitting it. Congrats!! Your past the first step! :clap:

 

I can sympathize with you! Most of my posting is done from my Storm. Main reason I don't post like I did a few years ago.

Welcome to CAD!

Maybe I should finally spring 4 a new laptop.

 

Hello all, just a quick introduction. Jaydubb is my husband (James) and that would be Mrs. Jaydubb (Jackie) and we've been doing this for 6 years now. Our Co. is Walter Ultimate Transport, Inc. Just happened to stumble onto this web site while looking for truckers' opinions on fuel cards. Com checks are killing us slowly. looking to get out from under that quickly. Seen a conversation last week about a Co. that has great potential to help. Cost: $250.00 for their membership. Have to call to join. Costly, but sounds like it's worth it. Need the name again. Can you help us out???
