Falsifying Driver’s Logs
Here’s an interesting topic on “Falsifying Driver’s Logs” that rarely gets talked about. 🤷♂️
When I first got my CDL I was hired on by a company that instructed me to falsify my driver’s logs if I worked over 12 hours. The company used a DOT loop hole that allowed carriers to use manual driver’s logs instead of an electronic log book if the drivers worked less then 12 hours. 📖
The penalties for a driver getting caught falsifying drivers logs can be severe that include DMV points and losing your CDL. But whatever the penalties, this violation will stay on a driver’s record. 🪪
As a new driver I did what I was told until I had enough experience to move on to another company like I already planned. Lucky for me I never got caught and I ended up representing a class action lawsuit that cost the company $200k. 💰
If you were in my position as a new driver and you needed the experience, would you falsify your drivers logs to satisfy the company’s request? 🤔

A day in the life of an Amazon driver
Here’s a video of an Amazon delivery driver providing details of what his day is like delivering packages. 📦
Although this isn’t warehouse work, this position is connected directly to an Amazon warehouse. 🚐
Keep in mind, Amazon package delivery service are owned and operated by contractors and not by Amazon. So drivers don’t receive benefits such as Amazon’s tuition reimbursement program. 📚
These driving positions can be found on the Craigslist transportation section and they do offer full and part-time positions. They are fairly easy to land. ✅

Class A DMV California General Knowledge Questions
Here’s a YouTube video that will help you study for your Class A permit. 📖
These 50 questions are just for general knowledge. There is another part of the test, which is an “Air Brake” test. 📝
I recommend only taking these two test, pass it get your Class A, then take your endorsement test which includes; hazmat, tankers, triples & doubles endorsements. ✅
Keep in mind the trucking industry is federally regulated and we fall under federal laws, but check with your local DMV in your own state because this is a California DMV test. You can always YouTube the state you reside in. ✅
I also recommend that you don’t just watch YouTube videos and assume you’ll pass the test. Study the DMV handbook, download the CDL prep app, and YouTube the DMV test to reinforce your preparation. This information is needed throughout your trucking career. ✅

Average Day Delivering Fuel
Since I just recently landed a fuel delivery position, I thought I’d YouTube a bunch of videos of drivers delivering fuel. ⛽️
Educating myself before I start training will give me an advantage. I always do this before I start day 1 and I highly recommend anyone starting a new job to do this. You’ll impress your trainer and management on how easily you pick up on the job duties. 🚛

Superior Tank Lines
I’m excited to announce I just accepted a job offer with Superior Tank Lines which is the 2nd highest paying fuel carrier in the nation! 🚛⛽️
I took a road test on 3/27 and met all the requirements to haul fuel. This is a huge transition from working the Los Angeles Ports. 🚢
Superior Tank Lines pays $130k annually, pays 100% medical, PTO starts day 1, and EOS which out performs 401k. 💰
I’ve been wanting to haul fuel for this particular carrier for the past 2 years and I’m finally in. I’ll be resigning from my union carrier Maersk next week once they give me a start date. My favorite part is that my commute is only 30 minutes round trip. ✅
I’m excited to start my new journey. This is the 6th carrier I’ve worked for in the past 2 1/2 years. Having a Class A CDL has a career advantage because there are more jobs than there are drivers. As you can see job hopping isn’t a problem in the trucking industry. This will be the last carrier I work for until I go full-time Real Estate Investing. Don’t stop pursuing your goals and keep grinding it out until you reach financial freedom! 💯
Keep on trucking! 🚛⛽️
