Possible Maybe, but I doubt it. If you owned a $100,000 truck hooked to a $20,000 trailer carrying $500,000 of cargo and have the potential for MILLIONS in liability put two NEW INEXPERIENCED drivers in charge? Get some one on one training , Schnieder can provide that for you and CRE say's they will but DON"T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!

Four days out and three days off?? I don't think that ANY company is going to want a T/T sitting idle over 40% of the time.

I was reluctant to delve into much detail due to the "trollesque" flavorings of the OP. 18hours of training?? C.R. England as a possible employer?? How much can we take home each week?? |
