Starting career, have questions.
Hello all, first time poster here. I will graduate from training this Friday and I'm looking forward to starting life on the road! My father is a truck driver and I've envied him forever. I have several questions, first, I want to do regional truck driving more than anything. I have a wife and children, so OTR is not an option, but local is not appealing to me. Halliburton is offering me a two week on, one week off deal that sounds perfect. Living in West Texas (Andrews) I was wondering if there are any other companies that would offer such a deal? What is Halliburton like? Second, the trucking 'lifestyle' appeals to me very much, I happily drive for hours and listen to music and podcasts for free. Is the lifestyle still alive and well in 2014? Are CB radios still a thing? I have more questions, but I'll leave off here. I think this site is great and i look forward to hearing from all of you.

I appreciate the help, I did notice the shotgun job application you offer and will definitely use it. As of now, I'm waiting in line to pre-test for doubles/triples and tankers. I should ace them... I'll check into Roehl too, I understand less driving means less pay, but 2on/1off sounds like a decent check you think? Now a less business-like question. How do you guys pimp out your cabs/sleepers? I'm looking forward to turning my cab into a second home, do you guys have any cool tips to making your areas homey? Like little refrigerators, xboxes, etc... Just me being selfish with 'my' truck.
