How To Deal With Nervousness? What Is Driving With The Driving Instructor Like?
Laws vary by state. In Nevada, where I live, a truck under 26,000 lbs GVW, with standard hydraulic brakes would need only a basic (Class "C") driver's license to operate. No log books or other CDL requirements. Other states could require a Class B CDL for the same truck. It's always best to talk with your local DMV when trying to determine rules and regulations for the state where you will be driving.As for pay... That's between you and the driver. You could pay by hours, miles, or a combination of both.
What to do when driving on black ice?
Your best bet would be to contact a place that gives driving exams for CDL licenses. We have a 26' box truck with air brakes, under 26,000 gvwr, and we fly hazmat placards. We asked the BMV about air brake endorsements, and we got a different answer from every person we asked. We found a private company that does the driving exams and they had all the answers. We are in Ohio.What is the age & weight minimum for a child in California not to be required to use a booster seat?
There should be a professional truck drivers association near you, phone them and ask them, If that fails, go talk to one of the truck driving schools, they will fill you in on everything you could want to know. I have seen trucking jobs ranging from minimum wage (not to many takers with these) to a percentage of the tucks income, to mileage to an hourly rate. Depending on where you are, a guy driving within 100 miles is not going to get enough miles in to even make minimum wage, which for you means a constant flow of drivers though your company. Your driver is out there representing your company (sign on the truck) and his actions reflect very much on your company. I would suggest when you find a good driver, you pay him well enough that he isn't going to jump ship the second a bettter paying job comes up. Also you might want to remember that truck drivers are the fourth most sought after proffesionals on the continent, there are thousands of truck driving jobs out there, so you have to take steps to attract a driver and keep him / her.What is the law about carrying a load longer than you're vehicle?
