Phone networks/types for OTR drivers
Hey i was wondering what kinds of phones you OTR drivers are using? More importanty,which network(s)? I need a new phone soon,but also planning to start driving school in next few weeks. With all the stress to get into school lol can u please lend me your advice? Nobody wants to roaming charges all over the country right😂 or maybe thats how it goes, i have no clue! I usually buy unlocked phones, does that work? Is phone company contract better choice? How expensive is it? Does it cost more than being in stationary location; like most normal people😂😉

Seeking paid CDL training advice
Hi! I've spent hours thru this site since i found it-thank you for being here! Perhaps i need to read even more, but a couple questions cant hurt right? Im in California looking for a paid CDL program, its location doesnt matter to me. I wanted to get into trucking a few years ago, but a DUI on record isnt awesome. Now it's less then 90 days until 10yrs old! So can any drivers or soon to be drivers give me any advice? So far i need a paid CDL program & that location is no issue; although i'd rather not learn completely across the country to train. I'd also prefer being on the road a while;days,weeks. Im 34, single & prefer it, no family at home, ive always loved driving & seeing new places, im very content alone & live alone. Also..i do have a cat who i love dearly like a son..it would be GREAT to find a company allow 1 pet;esp if i get the long durations on the road. Thats pretty much it..hopefully not too picky? I really just need a chance here, but i also want to be trained well so i can operate at maximim potential safely! Im big on safety! Thank you☺

Truck Driving: An Escape From Poverty Or A Silly Fantasy?
Hi Matthew! Are u still on here? I need some help too & your article title caught my attn..i didnt want to make my own post i guess lol! This is one of reasons i want to be a driver, but i also have several other reasons! Theyre all written down where i can read them everyday. Ive been working towards this goal for months. I applied to school,i wasent surprised they said no. And now im anxious to apply to the others..but obviously i have to lol! My problem is my work history, its a bit unstable, so i can see why they didnt want me. How can i fix this??? I cant change my past. How can i prove that nothing in life means more to me, then a chance to have a good career?? I live in a small town in California, everything is expensive & ****ed up here. Life has been a struggle for years. I have an education, ive tried community school here. Seems like nothing has gone anywhere. I was about to completely give up, when last August i learned that i can be sponsered for driving school & i just fell in love the more i researched it. I also understand how difficult it can be, but im fully confident i can handle this lifestyle. Im smart, friendly, extremely driven individual, want to travel, sick of Cali & rent, sick of everything lol! What can i do to show a company how serious i am? I dont want to miss a great opportunity when i know i will do well & theres no opportunities where i live. Thus reason some of job changes; trying to find my way. Had some other probs too, but i fixed those. Some werent even my fault & then i had crazy roommates,etc. Its just been hell of ride & i want to get the **** out of here & make myself useful! Im totally clean record, not drug user. Im a hard,efficeint worker; not a 1/2 ass. I already dont need much sleep, very safe driver my whole life. Both my parents were police officers. I was A & B student in school. I LOVE to learn, am sharp minded etc..how can u help me? Anyone? Advice?p>
