My trucking journey (WIP)

THANK YOU -- for your service to our great Country!!!

If you haven't already--seriously consider getting those endorsements: tanker, hazmat....and doubles/triples.

In the vast majority of cases--that's where the real money is, in trucking.

The endorsements are door-openers, and money-makers!

Is your back much better? Were you able to finally retrieve med records for it?

Depending on the extent of your back injury--it's hard to encourage/recommend flatbed/stepdeck work, in your case.

What city/state do you live near?

Good luck on your journey! My not asked for $0.02 is that TMC is pretty well-respected. Seems like a decent place to work for experienced or new drivers. Roehl seems pretty decent except the nanny cameras. They have a variety of accounts and types of trucking to move between if one doesn’t work out for ya. Did they require you to pay your own travel? That’s a red flag at most companies if so, but maybe that’s the norm for training companies.

They get a hard time often, but Knight and Swift are decent options to consider. They also have lots of accounts and TONS of terminals. I’m jealous every time I’m having to park 50 miles outside of a major city due to parking issues while knowing that Knight/Swift, Schneider, etc. are all on their way to their cozy terminal and free showers

 

TooMuchChrome is NOT the place to go, trust me. I wouldn’t wish that place on anyone. If someone wants to go flatbed, the maroon trucks out of Little Rock are a much better bet.

 

For the newbies......"the maroon trucks out of Little Rock" = Maverick Transportation
