Considering a career change and need help

i have had dozens of tickets over the decades and yours are not problematic. I would not encourage anyone to enter truck driving and jump thru all the hoops and have to train with God knows who just to aquire a cdl. i certainly would not do it if i had to enter as you newbies must and then be relegated to some mega fleet and the slow/ every move electronically monitored truck. once that clock is ticking,that monitored driver has to time his dumps at the rest areas.

who wants to take a timely dump? heck,my dumps are master pieces and are worth every minute they take.there are times that i might take 15 minutes to dump.I simply will not take time restrained or constrained dumps.

I do pull an end dump often so there ya go-

 

the OP is not even a cdl holder yet.how could csa points be brought into play? just curious.OP will not be a difficult hire in my uneducated opinion. go ahead a get a cdl OP and jump into the rat race in that slow truck. if csa really mattered with other than the megas,my OOS's,radar detector tickets,my speeding tickets,and my load spilling over tickets along with all my overweight tickets would have me hitchhiking.

many drivers live in fear of big brother for no reason other than their trainer told them to.NO xlsdraw,you are not being singled out.you are but still a newbie overall.drive for another 10 years and you will see that the tickets that you will get will not disadvantage you.it is part of doing business as a driver if you are an actual driver.not you as in you but the drivers that lament the csa.

 

i wish you the best of luck if you enter driving.bad habits will always be learned,as in passed on,or learned as in individually.you can not escape bad habits.every driver has one or more.I probably have more than one but then i was just put in a truck and sent on my way with my ga.class 5 i think it was.that was in 1984.no power steering,no backing experience,no nothing.trial and error on my behalf all the way and i am so glad it was that way.i have experienced that which most have never and never will as related to driving a truck.I still drive an actual truck with 18 tires and wheels and i make my own decisions regarding where to fuel,when to stop,how to log,etc. and it is all legal.gosh.how can that be? i make actual decisions and do not have to have my hand held. oh the freedom that most drivers can't imagine because they drive under such restrictive conditions and still stay anxiety laden.all of this in today's driving climate.hard to imagine and yes it will probably end if big brother and the anti trucking groups continue unchallenged. another topic but do you really desire to enter such a hated environment?

okay.i am getting off topic.

stay away from the mega fleets is my advice.drive an actual truck if at all possible thereby having the opportunity to experience what is left of "truck driving". i don't call driving a truck that runs less than the posted speed limit driving. the ones that are all electronically monitored out,and slow,are not what i reference as a real truck.how can it be when your every move is scripted in advance by the mega fleet? just something to think about as you ponder what is a major decision-

oh yeah.
OOS-out of service as in the dot has placed you and/or the truck out of service

csa-commercial vehicle safety act? i don't even know but i do know that tickets obtained/earned while in a commercial vehicle now go against both the driver and the company.you must have a commercial license in order for it to plague you.

way too much for you to concern yourself with at this juncture in my opinion and i am not opinionated.
