Roehl Trucks... Newbie curiosity

When does your class start Big Will... I know Red dog and I are on the 5th of May. SO any suggestions on which way to head to Marshfield from Southern Michigan without paying a butt load of tolls??? It is ridiculous up thru Illinois...especially the Skybridge.

 

The key to making money trucking is drive. The more the better the money. I have know plenty of drivers that whine they don't make good money...of course they are doing this from their couch. Take your required breaks, but don't screw around at the truck stops, rest areas etc. Try to get your 11 hours driving in each day...ya got 14 to do it in. I've been around trucking enough to know if you are sitting you aren't making a dime.

 

Me too Red Dog... getting antsy just waiting to tel lthe boss, "By the way, I'm outta here!" And let em see the dust from my tires as I head to a new start! It's only gonna get worse the close the time gets!

 

Google maps says 6 hours 18 mins from door to door... Can't wait to meet ya Plenz and the others I've been chatting with on here! Can't hardly wait to get this new start STARTED!!!!!

 

Then I will learn from my trainer to right way to manage my time... glad you brought it up though. I always hated restarts but that was how my ex drove... I want to learn the right way But there were drivers who did complain all the time about running out of drive hours daily and we figured out they were stopping all the time to potty, eat, shop, whatever and ate all their time goofing off instead of driving. Maybe I should of been clearer on that. Then again I am going into school with the firm belief that I know NOTHING about trucking...only hearsay. And I've got an open mind and willingness to learn everything the right way instead of the Super Trucker way LOL
