Need Advice

Knows everything, but is also wrong about it.

Your plan won't work because as others have mentioned, your CDL will be useless in a matter of months without being used. You generally need 1 year to be good for 3, 3 years to be good for 5 and 5 years to be good for 10. Without at least 1 year experience, a reputable carrier won't touch you.

For others reading this, there are part time jobs out there. Amazon, FedEx ground contractors, some FedEx freight buildings, ABF, Pitt Ohio etc will hire part time drivers, but the experience prerequisite has to be met.

Am I the only one who noticed the name, saw the commentary and knew what would be coming?

I was thinking the same thing, but questioned as to if he would be that obvious.

My buddy who worked with me at both my OTR companies had nothing but bad things to say about his experience with Schinider. That said, I don't have any personal experience with them. But like my crazy uncle used to say: If it doesn't get your southern blood pumping then you probably shouldn't "F" it. OTR was a boat I wish I caught before I became a father of 3 and a homeowner. If I could go back in time, I would live out of my truck for a few years and hoard a ton of money. I got tired very quickly of "chasing the dragon" for the pay I needed to justify being away from home with the various issues that arise on the road. Personally, I thought trucking was the easiest job ive ever had from an operational standpoint. But, in the end, I decided to go local beer delivery and was the best decision I could have made. Now I sling kegs all day on a bar route in Boise and meet some really fun business owners. I lost 30 pounds since I started and feel great. Get paid hourly. And home every night. Plus its 4 days a week and still manage overtime. Between the overtime, not spending as much on the road, and factoring time spent at job, I save significantly more plus I'm getting in really good shape and I get to have a life. If you want to do some part time local work with your CDL , you shouldn't have too much trouble. But like other have said, put in the two weeks. Its the professional thing to do. I just had to sign a form with my current company that allows for them to contact my previous companies to verify my driving and employment status. You don't want to give them a reason to torpedo you later. Your CDL is worth only as much as the good will, performance, and time equity you put on it. Just my thoughts. They aren't going to put your feet in concrete shoes over quitting properly. They probably receive at least a dozen notices a week. They aren't going to zero in on yours.
