Quite a few drivers carry bicycles, I have seem motorcycles on trucks as well, but I would think that could be a hassle. Bicycles are much lighter and easier to handle, I carried my bike years ago and intend to do it again , if you're concerned about space there are reasonably priced folding bicycles that are approximately the size of your passenger seat when folded for transport... bikes and trucks, like bikes trucks and dogs, belong together, don't think about just do it, AFTER you get permission from your employer

I have wanted for a long time to be a trucker. The problem is the cost of everything. Is there not a completely 100% backing program anywhere in the world? I am trying to get a job to make money I desperately need. I don't have $120 to fork out for a cdl permit, or money to eat off of while taking the classes.

you should check into Celadon in Indianapolis, the recruiter I talked to said they provide a room and 3 meals a day while you're in school for 3-4 weeks, she didn't say anything but i would assume that you have to feed yourself when you go for on the road training after the classroom work

I drove OTR for 22 years until i had a stroke in Augsust 2011, in fall/winter 2012 the Drs said i had progressed far enough that I could test to get my license re-instated, foolishly i yielded to family pressure and gave up my CDL , in January 2013 I got a class C PA drivers license.. bye bye trucking right? well , maybe not. This summer I started checking out company sponsored driver training programs, I gotta say some of them scare me!How they think they can take joe schmo and make him a truck driver in 3-4 weeks is beyond my belief. I've always thought Celadon was a solid company and their training time frame sounded much more realistic to me so i applied and have been accepted for schooling to begin in Indianapolis in mid January(the TT review of Prime's program had me very interested in them if Celadon did not accept me, I wish y'all had reviewed Celadon)... I really would rather not hear all the "new breed steering wheel holder" garbage but if anybody has anything adult to say about Celadon or their program I'd like to hear that
