The latest Rumor ....

Hey Joe maybe you should try a different approach when talking to people. Every time I talk to someone they generally go out of there way to help me. From a science standpoint becoming obese is dangerous. From a non science standpoint how many fat 80 year olds do you know?

Well, its official...We are no longer Owner Operators.

I know everyone here says its better to be a company driver. If you do not mind i would appreciate it if you would tell us the pay difference for you from when you were a company driver versus an o\o. You seem to be very knowledgable and I look forward to your response. Thanks.

Team Driving....Newb here

If you go with watkins shepard the training is ten days. With may and schneider it is three weeks I believe. So there are training options that do not involve months with a trainer. If you are not comfortable with your driving skills I would not suggest going withany of the companies I mentioned. Training period was a sticking point for me also but I have experience overseas so I am comfortable with my skills. If I was a beginner I would have gone with a company that offered an exstensive training period.

Advice on what to do

My degree is in theology. I have never used my degree except for when I was a youth pastor and that is not really a job. Having that piece of paper will open up many doors. I agree with you though, a degree in computers is worthless if you want to support yourself in the computer field. That piece piece of paper though is priceless.

Advice on what to do

Finishing up school is a great choice. I was offered a great job recently that I turned down, based off my degree. I totally understand your desire to be a trucker because thats why I am doing it. There will be a day that you will be thankful you finished up your schooling. Good luck.

Advice on what to do

Finish college. Going back to school is hard. Getting your degree will give you a fall back plan. I have a masters and I am driving a truck now because it has been a dream of my wife and I to see the country and after spending the last decade doing year on year off deployments this was the only way we could think of to not have to spend any time apart. Trucking will still be here in two years. I suggest going to roadmaster during your break. You owe it to your parents to finish what you started. Just my two cents.
