Sounds good G town! I'll take a look at those forums, thank you sir

Yea that's true Pete. I'll be open to going OTR we'll just have to see what the universe has in store in for me when the time comes!

Rob thank you so much for the help brotha. I'm gonna go over those guidelines because even though I won't start school for a couple of months like you said it's good to get a head start. I don't wanna go in ****y at all because I know jack right now when it comes down to it but I'm working on it. As far as what I'm wanting to haul I'm not too sure, is there too much of a difference? Of course dry van and reefer are different from flat bed I'm assuming. Also Iv been looking into Schneider as I heard they're a good company to start out with. Any recommendations?? I'm here on the west coast maybe wanting to do regional just because I don't know if I'll feel comfortable taking on the east coast from the get.. and I'm wanting to be close to home when I get my hometime

@Unholychaos How long did it take you to get the hang of backing up, double clutching, etc. Did they teach you enough in school in regards to pre trip inspections and drivers test? I'm going to sage which I hear is a great driving school here in town and then thinking Schneider for my first gig

@Old School Yea that's one of the big things I feel I'll have to get used to although I already don't speak or hang out with a lot of people already. Hometime will be nice also.

Hey guys! So I'm obviously new to this whole trucking thing due to the trucking status on my profile. And I'm sure there are a ton of forums on here in regards to advice to students drivers and everything to prepare for after school and such. But I just wanted to type out my own and give people the chance (rookie and veteran drivers) to share their own words, tips, knowledge) and who maybe don't comment much or if you do and feel like repeating yourself then that that's fine more the merrier! Basically want to know what you feel or felt was your most challenging part of becoming a truck driver.. whether it be school, family, salary, traveling, training, etc. I know nothing but what Iv learned in the past month from YouTube videos, forums, and things Iv read from my CDL Manuel (went out and got my class A permit to jump the gun on school). So what ever advice you have for me whatsoever feel free to comment because it'll help me out so much. Thank you guys!
