    Hi everyone. I've been on the site a few time now and finaly decided to join and so far realy enjoy it. I like how everyone here is trying to help one another and give advice, but anyhow ive been driving for just about 5 years now. Started when i was 18 and will be turning 23 at the end of the month. Got into the buisness driving tri-axle and on ocasion pulled a tag along trailer hauling some equipment. I then got into a lowboy hauling heaving equipment and some permited loads witch i really liked but the work died off and i decided to get a job pulling containers off the rail. That was my first fright hauling job i had sence i started driving and credit that job with giving me some good class A experienc to help me progress in the trucking industy. I then started doing some dry bulk work and dry van work through another company. Unfortonatly i did not stay there because the dry bulk work was a night time position and i found out a big heary that i was not cut out for that and the van work you were pretty much on call and nevery really knew when you might be leaving to do a run.
    I know i probubly sound like a realy peice of work to some of you guys out there because of all the jobs i had but i'm tryin to find something i like and a place i can call "home" so to speak. Thanks for reading the this post and hopefuly i can get some good advice from some of the veterans out hear.
    Be safe guys.
