 Let Us Give Thanks |
|
|
It's the time of year when we all stop our busy lives and say thanks to the people that help us do what we do. I want to take this time to say "Thank-you" to all the drivers who work so hard throughout the year delivering food and goods that keep this country running, in good times and in bad. The economy is not doing so well right now, and most of us are feeling the pinch. But I'm sure if you look deep enough, you have some things to be thankful for. Living in the best country in the world is a good start for me personally. Having a job, or the ability to find a new one. Having a family that loves you. A smiling waitress at the last truckstop you ate in.
Whatever you're thankful for, we ate truckdrivingcdljobs.com hope that your Thanksgiving is a happy one.
Keep on truckin'! |

| Cut out the wait on DOT Release Forms |
|
|
| You know those annoying forms you have to sign for every potential company you might go to work for that allows them to get your previous work history and drug & alcohol test results? Those are commonly referred to as DOT Release Forms the time they waste having to wait for then via a fax or even slower, via snail mail is a waste of time for both the driver and the trucking company. What if you could sign those forms instantly and have them back to the trucking company instantly? Now you can sign those forms right on your computer by using the free tool at http://www.truckdrivingcdljobs.com/recruiters/dotreleaseforms/ |

| Winter Driving for Truck Drivers |
|
|
I haven't personally seen any snow yet, but the winter driving season is here. Chain laws for truck drivers are officially in effect, and the winter driving season means alot of important things to everyone out there on the road. Whether they are in a truck or a four wheeler, drivers need to remember that winter driving is different than the rest of the year. For the professional truck driver, this is nothing new, but for the new cdl holder, we felt like a quick run down on things to watch for would help.
- Four wheel drive pickups that think that just because they can go fast, they should
- Four wheelers who have never seen snow before and think that driving 5 mph is "risking it"
- Frozen brakes, air lines, jelled diesel fuel, & dead batteries
- skipping pre-trips because it's too cold out
- lost traction in parking lots and customer yards
Above are just a few of the many things to watch out for this winter season. Remember to pack some non-perishable foods to keep in your cab in case of a whiteout, blizzard, or other unpassable conditions. Roads can be shut down with little notice and having a granola bar or two can make that idle time a little easier to deal with when you don't know when you'll be able to move again. Keep your CB radio in good working order, make sure your APU has been serviced, and carry so fuel additive to keep your diesel from jelling. |
