    You are naive if you think any trucking company gives one whit about you. Drivers are a dime a dozen, especially newbies. You gotta look out for yourself cuz no one else will.

    Good luck.

    With a condescending attitude like that, my money is on you not lasting a year. You'll be a trainer's dream. :biggrin_2551:

    Your best bet is to change careers. If you have to rely on what others say then you're just too lazy to figure your own needs. Everyone is different so make a list of what you what and need and get off your butt and go get it.
