    I started into trucking by hauling FEMA campers during the Katrina relief effort and became addicted to the road, the freedom, scenery,meeting people. Hauling campers felt like 'amateur trucking'. I'm a carpenter without work, getting CDL-A training through WIA, interested in alternative fuels, dual purpose trucking. Have intent to hire with two companies, a car transporter and a flatbed dispatcher, both o/o. look for my posts.
