Um ok

Hermann Bros. - Solid company.

Oh I just got further to the end. you mentioned trucking gps. Thats as much as I thought, theyre good but not bulletproof

@@Alniemi eventually you start to know your areas, cities and states but GPS can send you in odd directions especially if you have Bluetooth or WiFi hooked up to it, sometimes it will account for misinformation and redirect. Anytime I go anywhere I google map it and look for roads and paths that are easiest to navigate and not always fastest and then plug the address into the GPS and manually create my routes if I have to.

Ey I’ll probably get on next week waiting on trainer. Did you speak with Brooke at system out of Spokane

@@makingithappen3660 mine was crystal I actually just got out of orientation I do onow who brook is though during orientation both recruiters speak for a few min.

@@makingithappen3660 but yes out of Spokane

​@MiguelFlores-ig7wd how you like it so far bro? I'm headed to system here in a lil bit myself. I'm calling to set up my orientation now.

@@MiguelFlores-ig7wd I'm still waiting on a call from the recruiter I was going to start last week but had to put off the date till next week

Did they allow you to chill out before they took your heart rate? When I go in for my medical card stuff they usually have me sit in the room for like an hour before taking my heart rate.

@@jaytrucks8329 I got nervous and anxious about taking the tests and I did one after the other with no break. There was two of us there. A black dude and me a Hispanic. The other guy asked about the failure rate of the class and the guy in charge said two out of two. They sent me home because of my heart rate and they sent the black guy home because he had a cough. Two out of two. I hate to play the race card but I just can’t stop thinking about that comment.

Sounds about right, they really do try to pair individuals with like minded trainers for compatibility which I really appreciated lol so they do not provide GPS, hotspot or CB. Some places such as the lumber yard in Laclede ID and Lewiston ID for example almost require CB comms. This may have changed since I’ve moved on but I doubt it. I’m glad they’re helpful to you and everyone and with a company like System Trans I don’t think there’s many drivers out there that documented and answers questions about their operations. It was a wild ride when I was with them, nothing bad to say and it’s always what you make of it, stay on the grind and work that clock to your advantage, park up at the receiver/shipper and get loaded or unloaded off the clock so you can use your time to drive and make $$, don’t make $$ being on duty ;)

I also recommend getting your own dash cam for your own record. Rexing has some good offerings.

@@jaytrucks8329 Thanks for the insight, much appreciated. Guess we are adding a CB to the list. lol My husband and I have been searching all social media platforms for information out there about Systems and it’s been slim pickings so yes we truly appreciate you taking the time to post all of your videos. Take care God Bless

I completely understand your stance on that, I guess some of it is nostalgia/genuine hardware (less the screen) or like myself I like modifying hardwares etc. never had an analogue so I can’t compare but I place it in the emulator category and I personally don’t enjoy playing on emulators. Something about genuine old school hardware I enjoy having. Maybe one day I’ll use an analogue.

I'm attached to my current job tho it's so insanely easy lol. But I can't find any amazon Runs outside of Washington.

Do you just drop and hook? My favorite thing ever is drop and hook so stinking easy ... don't have to worry about driving around the city or getting stuck down a road, or dealing with weird docks or warehouse ppl

Some of it is drop and hook and some of it is not, kind of a mix BUT I am no longer with System Trans but they were good while I was there, have heard otherwise since then but it’s a matter of opinion and not much micro managing, I only had issues with delays in loads. Sitting around to hear about my next load while they knew I had asked prior to anything else. Didn’t always have things together but I’m sure it’s changed.

Don’t work with them anymore 👍🏼

@@jaytrucks8329 i kno thats right! where u at now?

Logging company based out of the Olympic peninsula ;) Hourly!

@@jaytrucks8329 yea man thats tha way to go specially now!! if u do run local it gotta b hourly. alot of these companies b bullshittin

Hey 👋 Do you have other social media?

Yes, inward and outward.

Thanks I am thinking about going over there what was your home time like

@@jaytrucks8329 do you remember what the per diem was a day

@@jaytrucks8329 at system transport

Home time was roughly every two weeks for your 34 then back out for another two weeks. Not sure about the Per diem, don’t think it was much but then again that’s something I never paid any attention to. It was CPM and Tarping I kept track of.

Wouldn’t see why not as long as it’s not “out of the way” if it’s in the same city or town, I personally was never questioned where I was parking the truck for my 34.

@@jaytrucks8329 Thank you for your reply. I’m in Prineville with 10 acres! Plenty of room for the truck. I’m scheduled to start System Trans Monday. Anywho, Enjoyed your video input with the company. Keep up the great work!!

@DSnow-qk2cd it’s a decent company, I miss flatbedding, I have moved on to other things but hopefully they can get you through home often, I know Home Depot and others out that way, lumber yard in white city so you’re in a good spot, oversized stuff out of Harrisburg.

@@jaytrucks8329 Sounds good. Winter challenges for this newbie flatbed trucker, will be interesting.

Last I knew system was doing 70cpm but could be dependent on location. Tarping was bumped up I think to $50 tarp/untarp where it was $25 each tarp/untarp. Home time was roughly every two weeks and was literally for 34hrs sometimes got lucky with a few extra hours but they keep you out if they can. These are just my experiences from the PNW regional side and could wildly differ.

Best thing I can say is just think about your clock. Get to your shippers and receivers to shut down at night so you can creep around off the clock to get loaded and hopefully get tarped but at least show 15 minutes on duty for pre trip and you should be golden. Utilize your 8/2 splits. Loading or unloading on the clock is literally the time killer. Also if you get to your receiver pull off your tarps the night before and leave essential straps on for maneuvering around just use your judgement. Don’t untarp if it’s pouring rain.

Why go to military, there is a reason several veterans have chosen the trucking life

That’s ok, have a great one ☝️

I moved onto hourly with a more local company. Thanks man I appreciate it. I’m still doing videos but can be difficult sometimes because I tend to go to the same places a lot.

Yeah sad that it’s all someone’s or a families personal items.

Oh yeah everything preloaded

Awesome day for it 😎 🎉

For sure especially all the interchanges and the changes they’ve made to the road. Merge lanes aren’t merge lanes anymore mainly going towards Fife/Milton. I hear so much about people just following GPSs without even knowing the roads they’re on or should be on, it happens but it’s better to catch it well before it gets you into a “situation”. Appreciate the comment man stay safe!

Thanks Nathaniel I appreciate that and you be safe out there too!

Thanks yeah doing day cab local stuff isn’t very exciting to watch lol have taken on sleeper again so watch out for that 😂

Just urine is all they did.

@@jaytrucks8329 ok thank you.

They test for just about anything. My suggestion is if you’ve inhaled, swallowed or injected anything - Get clean for a year then go in knowing you’re completely clean. Won’t need to worry so much. Good luck 🍀👍

And they do hair test.

@@RedRedred-ld4pbi heard they dont do hair test.. did you get hair tested?

Hair test?

No problem man I appreciate you watching them, I think it’s important to share experiences - I never went into trucking with any malice or negativity just simple wonderment since I only knew very little and stuck to my own personal laws of right and wrong and System never “wronged” me, I’m sure some thing could have been handled better but people can only predict so much so far that I don’t blame anything or anyone, just a learning curve and valuable lessons. Stay safe and let me know how everything goes!

Wouldn’t see why not, they’re willing to look at anyone just gotta be upfront with them.

Yes They do

It’s a good company for sure, tarp/untarp could pay more but that’s something everyone could agree on lol There’s also going to be something about a company someone doesn’t like so it’s all subjective - I had a great experience looking back at the beginning. I wasn’t given a new truck, had over 500k miles and I cut my teeth hard with some of the scenarios I went through with that truck.
