Companies and Physicals

Blood pressure. I wish they’d tell you to focus on this in school. It hit me too but luckily I got it down asap. You’ll need to apply to way more than 3 companies. I was applying to several everyday and even with that I was getting a small percentage of follow up.

Apply everywhere, then call to follow up, but don’t be surprised if it’s mostly OTR and Class B jobs responding since you’re new. Try food service and beverage companies like Pepsi if you want to stay local. Yellow won’t be on any “approved schools” lists to get you past experience requirements.

 

Sysco drivers work hard, but make a lot of money.
You'll be in great physical condition after about 3 months.
I did a similar job hand unloading at grocery stores and soon had muscles popping out where I didn't realize I had muscles. People started asking me if I'd been going to the gym and working out.
