May Trucking Company has already got back with me looks like I once I do my state test done I will be able to get on with them. They have been around a long time and as a new driver I will take the first offer I get it seems like it is getting tougher to even get a offer now a days.
Congratulations Paul!
Yeah, I'd say if you have an offer, go with it. Try your best to stick with that first company for one full year. You will learn so much during that first year, and that kind of commitment will really help you get established in this industry.
Keep us informed how things are going for you. We can always help if you're struggling, and we really enjoy hearing about your progress.
Thanks man I 100% agree get on with a company and just stick it out with them. They have told me that they can keep me out all the time I am hoping to throw all my stuff in a storage locker just live in my truck saving money and making more because being out all the time. Tomorrow is the state test day my driving and inspection is really good my range stuff is only fair!
I lived on my truck 6 yrs and banked the $. Be sure to get a hotel room once in awhile or you will get burned out.
Good luck!
Finally took my test today and passed.
Finally took my test today and passed. Congrats. Best advice i can give as a fairly new driver myself is expect the unexpected in the real world of driving. Going to a CDL School does not teach you how to drive. They simply teach you how to pass your road test. There's a whole new world of learning ahead of you now.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Well how things can change I ended up not working for May. So I tried Roehl again and I start on the 24th in Gary! Be doing flat bed pays .53 a mile I have to go out with a mentor for about a month than I get my own truck. I will keep you all updated as things move forward.
