well unless your drive for central you are based outa phenoix. Either way if yeah want to just ship the more endorsements you have the more it helps. Tanker and hazmat are 2 good ones to have along with well just get them all cant hurt will only help. Also if you are unhappy with swift why? Their are alot of things you can do to change that.

 

Well ####. You got your stuff together. Man just go with the flow for awhile. Way way WAY to early to start talking about jumping ship.

 

Isn't it amazing how things have changed. My first driving job they just hired me, put me behind the wheel, & away I went. I remember unloading at a place in California years later & a dock hand asked me about truck driving, said he was thinking about going to truck driving school.

I asked him, "What is truck driving school, never heard of it?"

He them asked me, "You did not go to school to learn how to drive?" I don't believe he believed me. Them he asked if he could set in my truck to see what its like. I let him, the first thing he asked was, "Why do you have two gear shifts, what's this?"


Now days it seems to drive a truck you have to have school, & experience.

My first job driving diesels, a high school friend of mines father worked there. Every time I got around him I would ask him questions trying to learn what I needed to know, & he was a big help.

 

Well its good to look ahead but the reality is (and I am guessing you haven't drove before) you need to pay attention to the here and now. All that book stuff is good and all but alot of it is better left in the books. Plus not to be rude but alot of people dont have what it takes to be out here in your own head for weeks at a time. I would concentrate on going solo first then look at it again after a few months solo. You could love otr or be like hay I want to go local or I want to do tankers. But first you have to go solo. Hope that makes sense. Lol

 

What a great attitude to have. You won't last in this industry long.
