what are the different types of trucking?

You know...that's one thing I've never done, is apply for a government driving job...hmm....

I did get my passport though...cause I thought I was going to go over seas...but when the administration changed...all those opportunities seemed to dry up...darn...

I have a older cousin or something over there just raking in the big money...practically doing nothing...yes, we've all heard the stories...80-120 thousand a year driving a truck in Iraq or Kuwait...well, it's true...or was...
Sadly, it will take another war for those opportunities to open up again...

Now you have to know someone, who knew someone, who slept with someone, to get such an opportunity...

 

yep and you wouldnt catch me dead driving truck over there. RPGs,LAWs, are not friendly to fuel tankers

 

2 types of trucking not mentioned yet

PROFITABLE

and

NONPROFITABLE

And regardless of what type of truck or product hauled you can find both as a driver or owner.

If a Class A CDL will get you 80,000lbs cargo capacity to haul.

What if the truck is 592 tons (1,184,000lbs) ????

Is there a higher driving liscense than a Class A?

 

No license needed just a set of 8 BALLS , my luck 1st load would be DRIVER HAND ASSIST because HOIST is broke.

 

LOL!!!

It would be insane to drive such a beast though....

 

I run a coal bucket and watch these guys run every day. The loaders a just as big. Got loaded by a Cat 992 today. Two buckets and I had 26 ton on

 

That's a good question...what type of licence do you need to drive this??
Indeed is there a license above class A??

I forget where I was when I took this...I just remember it was very dusty..powdery...and I was miserable...couldn't get tandemns slid...

I was with the company before the one I'm with now...I think...

This things so big you could live in it as a house...

Later...

 

They are amazing machines. If I can. I'll be looking into starting my career in the Construction Industry, to see if what it would take to drive such a rig like that...

 

That is intense... O_O

Does it really cost $75,000 for one load?
