No problem, We are all here at different times, those in training are pretty wiped at the end of their day and those that drive are either behind the wheel, catching a meal, fighting for a slot for the night or etc... but someone will always reply on this site it just takes a bit, sometimes. Enjoy the training, Brett did an awesome job on this site and you will learn with ease. All the best, MRCgood-luck.gif

Right on.. Been working on The High Road Training all night. So far 98-100% on all the testing. I dig it. This is an amazing Site. Really helps motivate me to move forward in this career.

This is the best site for learning about Trucking, Company Training and preparing for your Permit Test not too mention all the helpful insights from the road you'll get from the regular members who are always willing to assist...I drive for Prime Inc. and think it's a good place to start

I agree. All the testimonials of all the drivers on the site definitely arent "sugar coated" and is real life. Very helpful indeed. I am also looking at Pride. Also thought about Schneider and Knight. I live in a very rural area and need something somewhat close to home. I want to do the 11 Western States as I am from the west. I have a Wife and Kids, so I want to be able to see them as much as possible. I know jumping out there isnt going to be easy in that sense and wont experience much home time for the most part. Really hoping to fond something local, but I know I need to "pay dues" first.

Zach - look at Swift also if you're out West and looking to get home often. I believe they just put a pretty substantial pay raise on the board for new drivers so look into that. But Swift has a lot of regional and dedicated runs out West. They can probably get you home on weekends at least. You may have to wait a short time to qualify for one of those fleets. Sometimes they require a few months of experience first but not always.

Dedicated Run:

A driver or carrier who transports cargo between regular, prescribed routes. Normally it means a driver will be dedicated to working for one particular customer like Walmart or Home Depot and they will only haul freight for that customer. You'll often hear drivers say something like, "I'm on the Walmart dedicated account."

Regional:

Regional Route

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
