A message on a trailer proved prophetic for James Kreisel. He was looking for a better life, and found it with Crete Carrier as a driver-and now an orientation instructor- at our Mechanicsburg terminal. He shares his story in the latest edition of In Good Company. #trucking #truckingnews #supplychain

🚚 Ready to start your journey to a Class A CDL? Securing a Class A CDL permit involves successfully navigating a series of written exams. 📝💡 These exams typically cover General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combination Vehicles, varying by state regulations. You must pass a comprehensive driving test, consisting of a 3-part exam. 🚦 This includes a pre-trip inspection test, basic control skills test, and a driving test. The examination is conducted at either a state CDL test site or an approved 3rd party test site within the testing state. 🌟 Success is all about study, practice, and determination! 📚📞 Dial 575-CDL-Jobs for extra guidance. #CDL #CDLPrep #CDLTraining #TruckingLife #Trucking #TruckDrivers

It’s Monday, and on Mondays we road test. Do we need to? The short answer is no. We pull dry van trailers which means we can accept the drivers CDL in lieu of a road test. However, we still do a road test because it lets us walk the new drivers around the equipment and explain things. It lets us show them where empty trailers are kept. We show them where the closest truck stop is. And my favorite part, it gives me a chance to get to know the driver a little bit more. So don’t be afraid to do a road test. There are more reasons to do one than simply for evaluation sakes. PS. If you pull doubles/triples or tanks, then it’s mandatory to issue a road test.

This topic is a burr under my saddle. I spent time in trucks in the 1960s as my uncles drove. They lived fairly comfortable lives. One uncle had logging trucks in Northern California and gave up on that and moved to Southern California to run belly dumps. I started driving trucks about 1972 on a dairy farm, then again in 1973 on a pig farm and in the Army 1976 to 1985. I acquired my CDL in 1992. After four years I gave up driving as my second son was born in 1996 and I was tired of being away from home. I've lived a nomadic life as I have lived in 13 states and abroad in six countries for 10 years. Too many Americans are rooted in their communities due to family and other imaginary ties where they don't care to or won't move. FYI, there is no driver shortage; however, there is a driver retention issue. I find it morally wrong to recruit young students that don't understand life and are given half-truths regarding the trucking industry. Too often carriers work their employees 60 or 70 hours a week using a 34-hour reset so the driver can return to work with a fresh set of hours. How many know that a carrier working six days a week can only use the 60-hour rule? I wish the students well; however, find the current trend of HS recruiting HS students to operate CDL trucks is shameful as too many trucking companies treat their drivers like cannon fodder.. Be safe.
