It’s really all personal preference. I normally use a broom but no a lot of people that swear by a leaf blower. Obviously anything big or such as broken pallets etc. would have to be picked up by hand.
@@TruckinwithTBone John is my recruiter. I live in Joliet also. How is the driving test? Like what route do they do and just curious how that works so I’m aware ahead of time
@@drolak2158 Ok cool. John did my road test, it’s not bad. You basically go out to I-80 to I-55 and make a loop back to the terminal and back into a spot.
@@TruckinwithTBone ah cool lol they have the lines all crazy right now lol I backed my swift truck n trailer in there last week . He let me visit for my thirty to check everything out
@@TruckinwithTBone, hey bud ? Question ? Do they consider yard jockeying as driving experience? I was a OTR driver for Navajo Express for 1 year. I been a yard jockey for 2 years 1/2 years now.
I disagree. To an extent. If the truck gets hit in the middle of the night and the driver takes off, there is proof against that driver or company that everything was fine when parked.
You should know how to do a pre-trip before you get out of truck driving school which tells me this guy probably don't have no more than a year experience if that
Well done! Thank you for putting this together, also.
liked seeing what all goes into your trip planning, dispatch, etc. and how you figure all that out.
Just subscribed. This is very informative for us non truck drivers. Thank you. Stay safe.
You're welcome and thanks for the Sub! It's greatly appreciated.
Awesome video, thanks for showing is your routine. Send a photo of Milo to the Dispatch.. Security System is functioning normally 😂 Safe Travels
Cool job!

Awesome man good luck! Keep me posted on how it goes.
How do you clean the trailer? Leaf blower? Broom? By hand? 🤷♂️

Do you recommend a certain type of gps? I have always used a garmin.
I use the Garmin OTR800. I had the Dezl 780 before and they are both great units.
I got orientation apr 6
Awesome. Congrats and welcome aboard. Who was your recruiter?

Should of seen everyone faces when they saw a swift truck enter then park in a spot lol
You still with GP Transco ?
I am not. I had an opportunity to get into my own truck and took advantage of it.
@@TruckinwithTBone , gotcha!
@@Vpn367 with that being said, if I needed to go back to a company job, they’d be my first call.
@@TruckinwithTBone, good to know bud!

Am I the only one who caught that? This idiot said I checked the tires yesterday so I don't need to check them today. Wow
having to take pictures is about the dumbest thing ive ever seen, its literally shouting "we don't trust our drivers"
