USA CDL JOBS TRUCK DRIVER FORUM

if your on the road in a company truck and you have days off one or two how do you get around to do anything if you have no transportation. my wife and me want to hit the road full time on the road but wondered about this.

You use the truck if you are away from home. Just drop the trailer in a approved spot and go to town. Just remember, no drive-thru's!

HI thanks for the answer that is what i thought to but the owner of this site said you cant do that , that the companies dont allow it in their trucks. I though they would how else could you get around. So you say the companines allow you to use the truck on the road to go to town or what ever then? Thanks

I would trust what long hauler said, he has been a driver for sometime now, and he wouldn't mislead you. I just automatically assumed most people have their own form of transportation and I would rather not drive my company truck unless absolutely necessary because anything can happen.

I am not saying that you can use it as a personal vehicle, just for when you are away from your hometown.

When out on the road and taking a couple days off try to make it at a company terminal most companies like schnieder have loaner cars just let your dispatcher know want you want to do and he should know if your company has this option.
