He heads to trucking school next month and I go to school in February. Just wanted to stop by and say hi and this site is super helpful! Best to you all!
In about a year you will team...or about a year you will get jobs after going to trucking school then not driving for a year?
Team in one year, after we go through all the training and such. I’m out on the west coast and he is on the east coast. I will make a move to east coast late 2021 :)
By the way... I love your YouTube channel! It’s super helpful!
