| not getting cdl through a company- any advantages? hi all, first post. im currently about 400 miles from home, i took a temp job with a harvest crew cause they will and are helping me get my cdl, will be taking the test this week. I chose to do ths because i don't like the sounds of signing on with a company for a year and taking a gamble as to how well that year will be. I am currently looking for local jobs that might hire me with minimal experience, but i was curious as to if already having my cdl might help or hinder me if I went over the road (which i dont have much trouble with being gone) cause even though i can drive just fine, i feel like im missing out on the finer points of driving, no scales, no logbooks, etc. any suggestions?  |

| yes it is an advantage, all you will need to do is go thru orientation and then spend some time with a trainer disadvantage is that you havent learned how to properly pretrip, secure loads, trip planning, log and do your other paperwork |

| Gravy, that is going to be a concern of mine. Log and QC. and Paperwork. I know hours of service and what not have changed since I drove. Never had sat. communications to worry about. Have to find a book on the hours thing to bone up on.  |
