Any questions from prospects or lookers from real Watkins and Shepard drivers?

Thanks, I'm just thinking while I'm in the "learning Mode" go ahead and knock it out. Doubles triples and tanks as well. Or not?

 

if you can afford it, I would get all of them. Well I did lol but you know what I mean. Even if you never use them you'll have them, it'll make you allot more marketable, and can open doors that would normaly be closed. All of the LTL companies require Hazmat and Double/Tripples so if you ever want to do something like that you'll need it.

And TD24 is wrong about tankers their are plenty that will take you out of school and or with 1 yr or less exp.

I donno about out west but here in Charlotte, with 6 months OTR you can go over to what they call "Tanker Town" where all the fuel tankers fill up, and fill out apps for all the local companies they pay good and home everynight.....

No more thinking about it. I went to get my CDL learners permit today. So as you know I had to take three test. So I asked Mr. DMV guy, can I take my endorsement today also? He told me people don't normally do that because the three test will take an hour. OK, I tell him just give me the three and if I feel up to it I'll take the endorsements. Took me 20 minuets to finish the first three tests. I went back up to Mr. DMV and he was all smiles "guess you want to take some endorsement" he says. Yap. Give me all three, tanks, double / triples and hazmat. Knocked them out in about 20 minuets and only missed one! The only one that really cost you additional money will be the hazmat because you have to do the $89.00 TSA threat assessment and finger prints. Any how just a big relief to get it all done.

 

There ya go talk about Gettin it done! I did my endorsements the day I went to pickup my CDL. Thats great all those test and only 1 wrong, you musta studied your butt off lol

I did study alot. I miss represented myself in the previous post. I only missed one in the endorsements and I think 3 in the other part. Not 1 for everything. Now lets see if I can drive a truck
