JB Hunt has dedicated/regional & OTR divisions in your area. Pay structure & hometime will vary with every company out here. Most of the major careers (Prime, Swift, Roehl, Knight...) offer Northeast regional & some dedicated divisions but Prime requires you to drive a lightweight instead of a condo tractor. Another option & for ME, one of the best options, Walmart is always looking for drivers in the PA/NY area. Just dont know how close you are to any of their DC"s. Hope that helps.

Mike B., in that situation, it's good to place a flashlight by the dock you're aiming for. And of course, turning around whenever possible to make it drivers side rather than blind side. If nobody will help & you still have to blindside? GOAL as many times as you need to and move your mirrors to keep.an eye on you trailer. I've used my flashlight in 2 similar backing situations like the one in your pic & it helped me more than trusting someone else's judgment. Another thing is, if you accept someone's help? Make sure the signals are coordinated so you're both on the same page. The minute you cant see him/her? STOP that rig!

I know it all sounds like common sense but sense is the least common virtue out here.

Agree with all previous comments. I've been trying to squeeze in time to study & get them done myself. Nothing easy about it while running loads & trying to keep all that hazmat details together in my head. Especially with my memory not being as sharp as when I was your age Moe. :[

That would be some massively expensive fruits and veggies, sounds like to me.

But who knows? do that and sell to high end restaurants that only want exceptional quality, along with some high income customers and it might work.

Ain't that the truth! The minute you stamp organic on anything, the price soars. You can buy a burger, fries & soda for less than 10 bucks. In NYC, a salad can run close to 20 bucks.

My daughter grows her own veggies & herbs. Plus she works for a grower in Florida. As far as saving the world with winning the lottery for me? It's also about hunger & organic food but I'd follow the quote that says, think globally but act locally. Giving folks the tools to be their providers rather giving handouts.

Holy smokes Moe! Congratulations sir! I failed my backing twice & my road test twice. Feeling your previous pain but sharing in the joy & relief of getting it done. Continued success on your journey!!

Nice! 👍

He did have one on underneath the jacket.

Classic!!

If someone has experience driving but not OTR, their training may be abbreviated. I met someone that drove doubles for a beer distributor but only drove intrastate. He only had to do 25K miles with a trainer. Others that had their CDL from a school had to stay out for full training.

Found this beauty sitting in the parking lot of a great Mexican restaurant in Boonville, IN. Interior was immaculate too!

"My stomach dropped and I felt sick." This is the absolute worst feeling out here with these giants. When I was in training, we had decided to not follow the GPS at a certain point cause it looked really sketchy when trip planning. What did I do? Totally forgot about not following the GPS & got off the highway an exit before the one we had agreed upon. When I got that same feeling in the pit of my stomach it was too late. No where to turn around. Ended up on an incline that 5th/6th gear was the highest I can go with a caravan of cars behind me. 🤬 if I had stayed on the highway, the next exit was right next to the DC 🤯
