I'd rather tell the the broker I"m going to be late and loose the load, then tell the broker I'll be there on time and be late. The latter will give your company a bad reputation, and then that 1800.00 is peanuts to what could be lost with bad reviews. Sometimes we make the best decision we can and pray we are always correct. I've been watching you a long long time Johnny, and you don't screw up much, in hundreds of thousands of miles of driving year after year. Actually this was no a screw up, you thought you were going to be late or you would of never of told that to the broker. I think, you made the right decision.

With sign-on bonuses you have to check the fine print. there are almost always terms and conditions attached.. requirements you must meet to the letter in order to get that bonus. Sometimes they find something to knock you for and disqualify you from hanging on to that bonus. Just like military sign-on bonuses: It's not guaranteed to be available.

I'm moving to the USA in a Year or so. I'm Marrying the Love of my Life and uprooting my life in Scotland to move to the US-of- A. Truck driving is going to be my prefered career option.I love it and it's pretty much all I want to do. Question! as a Scottish HGV (CDL) Driver. driving in the Uk, what are the hardest issues for me as a new CDL driver in the US. also, we use mainly Snooper Truckmate SatNavs over here, as well as TomTom and Garmin...However, Snooper (which is the best of the bunch over here) is not supported, so whats the best sat-nav to get. are there any other bits of tech that I should consider, I think I'm going to be working in the Maryland MD. and Ohio, Area. so any advice will be appreciated. For instance, In the Uk, we just get paid a wage. no mileage allowance, Nothing, Just paid for the days worked. however, in the US it all seems a bit confusing. there seem to be different contracts, I'm just wondering which would be the best one to go for... could anyone maybe point me in the direction of a group or forum that could help or advise...Thanks Ray:)

Ghost, Not sure if your comment is directed to me or John, neither of whom are idiots, but it dosent matter. I only spoke of my personal experience with one company. I do not and did not claim to have 26 years driving experience. I was offered and received a sign on bonus, dispersed over a years time, no questions asked, It was taxed pretty highly tho. You might be referring to a performance bonus, as you know I'm sure is a whole different matter. That had to be earned quartely, and was not guaranteed. Your intentions seem noble and you are correct, as a recruiters job is to..recruit. New drivers definitely need to get ALL the facts about anything and everything that they can possibly think of, in writing BEFORE going to work for any company. The recruiter you spoke with might not even work there anymore by the time you finish orientation! All the best..
