I have two weeks of driving school left

Old Dominion - Line Haul is a job drivers stick around and retire from.

 

"Helped thousands"? Well, IDK about that. He certainly has posted THOUSANDS of prospective jobs, so far I heard of 1 (one) person that thanked him for the advice on getting a good job. The reality of "just graduating", and I mean no disrespect, but grads don't exactly have their pick, like Chinatown makes it seem. Great jobs, but not many will hire a grad just out of school, sorry. Again, Chinatown posts ads for experienced drivers, and sadly, you'll probably be going to a Dollar store, in as far away place as you can imagine, to fingerprint( hand unload) a wagon of goods. You won't be getting that (alleged) 6 figure air tanker job for a couple years, if ever. CR England, Swift, PAM, get most of the grads today.

 

See, therein lies the conundrum, you can't get the good job without experience, and nobody will give you the experience. All is not lost, however, if you are willing to give it your all, meaning, none of this "when are you coming home" BS, and STAY OUT, you can do okay. Remember, it's a DRIVERS MARKET today, and by graduating, you WILL have a job. Please be patient, it doesn't take long, and in 2 years, with no infractions, yes, you can get thet good Air Products job, you'll be fine. Good luck.

 

It’s cheaper to keep her. I can attest to that.

 

Thank you for your testimony, good Sir.
I totally disagree with it. Trying to start a relationship is an exercise in futility.
No matter what you try to do to keep a relation alive you'll fail due to no fault of your own.
It's meant to fail. And you'll be better on your own. Both financially and emotionally.
Because no matter what, how much and for how long you'll do something for someone it'll never be enough.
All will matter how you make them feel. All about feelings. Temporary feelings, of course.
And you can't control that. And if you try to control anything, you will be labeled a monster.
But I digress. We were talking about trucking jobs, right?

 

Often yes, but not always. The customers in tanker are almost always better to drivers than van/reefer. I don't know enough about flatbed to have an opinion. I hear flatbed drivers say flatbed customers are nicer to drivers. Reefer and many van customers treat truck drivers like a diseased rat that wandered onto the property.

 

Flat bed and tanker customers are the best.
Reefer the worst, dry van mostly bad too.

 

Tanker companies and customers have procedures to prevent mistakes. Mistakes happen when you ignore the proper procedure and/or the voice in your head asking "is this right." 100% compliance with proper procedure is your protection. If you follow procedure 100% you bought your self immunity from blame.
