Kind of odd that Loomis hired a contractor to deliver the trucks to PA. These companies often have their own tractor trailers. Unless they didn't have a skateboard of their own? Could have driven it up there as well. Isn't far from VA to PA

The security clearance level you get also helps as they are less likely to use you for a job like this if you have a colorful history. A good record for both yourself and work gives you access to better paying loads. Yes not fare on those that made mistakes in their youth but it happens.

What technique you use when making left and right turns especially right turns do you watch your rear tires of the tractor enter the intersection and then start to turn the wheel or you wait until the trailer tires are almost near the bend of the curve and then start to turn the wheel which is your technique that's you use to make right turns

Furthermore that is crap about security clearance I was one of the first convicted felons to obtain a twice card, I have hauled military tanks like Abrams as well as strikes that where still armed and had not been de commissioned as well as going into the Norfolk submarine base as well as the base in Groton CT. Area 51 as well,the only time security clearances matter is when hauling currency or going into a us mint or any situation. Where they want armored transport or armed drivers,being my bad criminal history it is illegal for me to possess firearms but I have hauled loads of firearms in van trailers as well like smih and Wesson out of mass. And Ruger out of Prescott az. And never had a issue, don't keep drinking that company Kool aid bullshit you may have been fed at prime
