Sounds good, thanks guys for all the info, Love the page and all the pod cast.

Yeah I get it and understand it, it’s a lot harder driving a dump truck and trailer through one-way inner city streets than one would expect but I was kind of curious where it stood as far as a driving position in a company somewhere someday. Someone once told me because my CDL is 2 1/2 years old it be a little easier getting a driving job but you guys are the experts so let me know what you think or would I have to go through a whole CDL training school again Thanks for all the input Guys 👍

I currently work for a large city who made us get our class a CDL license, so I basically drive a big Peterbilt dump truck with a trailer and a loader which basically requires a class A for the weight, so I’ve been doing this for two years. In all honesty being with a municipality we do not need to run any logbooks or ELD’s. They do give us random drug tests through the state, so I’m just kind of curious if I go for a truck driving position where do I stand as far as experience goes because when I’m not working for the city I also work for a local farmer who is running on farm tags so therefore I don’t need to run any type of logbook system because it is registered Farm, hell his 15-year-old son drives the Mac down the road pulling a hopper bottom for deliveries, I’ve been doing that for about a year as well back-and-forth to the FeedMills and grain silos. If anybody can shed any light on this it would be great. Thanks

Just a Random question, why does everybody want over the road experience. When driving locally and backing up 10/15 times a day seems to me to be more important and has a higher skill rate than being in the truck going 3000 miles One Direction. Thanks
