I watched a few videos of people going through Donner's Pass. Some didn't make it. Apparently it's known trouble area for truckers. I'm new and have yet to get behind the wheel so. ..How do you get down a hill like that without heating your brakes, losing your air? Common sense is to take it slow.

Thanks for the replies. Loctite (nice handle), it's time to leave. Civilian life will be much more difficult, I'm sure, but I've given it (the Corps) 11 years and I'm ready for a job that's more independent of people. I'm not much of a "people person", which is why I think trucking will fit me. Trucking is a lonely life but I look forward to no longer directly dealing with so many different attitudes. I'm sure there is so much I don't know about trucking and the industry but that's why I joined this forum. I'm sure you guys and gals will offer plenty of insight, both positive and negative. I'm all ears.

I'm currently an active duty Marine. I thought I was gonna get out last year so... I got my CDL a year ago from Miller-Motte college. Had a great instructor and met a few other great guys who were exiting the military. The time to exit the Marine Corps is coming quickly and I was wondering if some of you could name a few good companies for someone just starting out.
