Getting into trucking. Couple questions?

At 18, you will not be able to travel outside your state you are licensed in, so OTR will be out for you regardless

 

He's not 18. He has worked for the DOT for 18 years. (I thought the same thing at first)

 

Aw! Must of misread his post, thanks for the clairication

 

You will not get anything about a specific run guaranteed in writing from any trucking company. Period.

 

The mega starter companies may not do that but when I went to orientation at my current job I did have a paper with a job offer on it that basically said what fleet I was to be assigned to, and that I was being offered the job at x amount if money, and that the job offer would not be rescinded unless I failed or failed to complete orientation, the drive test, drug test, and physical. I don't see why other companies might not choose to do the same with specific routes.

 

That monkey knows how to relieve tension....no shame with those guys....lol

 

They guaranteed you would only run that particular run and nothing else ever..in writing? I would love to see that. Very interesting.

 

Depending where you are Midwest logistics solutions does not have OTR.

 

I'd stay where you are at.

I always smile at the guys picking up blown tires on the shoulder.

Reeaaaaalllll rough way to make a living I tell ya.

I'm sure there's more to it but I always smile at that guy.
