Buying my first truck need some info
I have limited knowledge about owning a truck. What I do know is being a good driver is a small portion of being successful. You need to be part accountant and part mechanic to have any Chance at making it. Best of luck in your ventures though. I’m rooting for ya.

Paper Transport Inc. - Thoughts?
Though I didn’t work for PTI, I worked for another company that had a Georgia pacific dedicated account and it was a good gig.

I work for a small company and pay for my own physical. My thought is I have no problem spending $80 to have the ability to make $75,000.

I drive around chicago and the suburbs All day and the lack of traffic is kinda of freaky. But I will admit it’s been much less stressful and that’s the only thing I’ll miss when the pandemic is so Over.

Hats Off to the Grocery Delivery Drivers; Shelves are Full
I have never seen this much milk being delivered before. We generally have between 18-20 loaded trailers delivered Per day. The last couple days we have seen up to 40 loads. Very happy to be able to work still.

I would highly recommend Roehl Transport as a company to get your CDL. They have great training and multiple home time options. But before you do anything please please please You and your husband research and understand what he is getting himself into. Trucking is a lifestyle and the fact that you are having a child in 2 months is going to make a challenging career even harder. A lot of people get into this business as a way to make “quick and easy” money and they underestimate what it takes to be successful. I am one of these people! Thankfully after a lot of hard work and discipline I plowed through and have found success, but it was not easy. Best of luck to you and your husband! Trucking is a rewarding and finically stable career but it is also a lifestyle.

The media is doing what they do best with this. Inciting fear in the general public. Remember the Ebola scare?

Wait a minimum of 90 days. Cut your hair down to 1/2 inch. Shave all your body hair now and then do it again after it grows out 1/4-1/2 inch. Find a private testing center near you and have them pull sample from your head to be tested.

Platooning passes real-world tests; new company emerges as leader
Seems like unnecessary risk. Why not just let one tractor pull multiple trailers?
