Profile For Eric H.

I’m looking at applying with TMC Transport and going through their CDL training program. Anyone else start out with them? My wife is agreeable with me making the career move as long as I’m making what I make now driving a straight truck — still gotta pay the bills. Anyone know how much they pay during the training and first year?

Needing some advice. I've been driving straight trucks with a Class B CDL for over 25 years. Due to some restructuring at the company where I've worked for 15 years, I'm looking at upgrading my Class B to a Class A and driving OTR. Anyway, I'm wondering if my years of driving experience will count for anything with upgrading my CDL or getting on with a company? I've had friends tell me that I could just take the combination test and get a learner's permit, and then take the road test (although logistically, where do I get a truck to test on?). I've had others tell me that I still need to go to truck driving school and go from there. I figured someone on here might know more about what I should do.
