    Hi,
    I was reading Topsflights story on how he got started in grain hauling and am envious. I live in northern Illinois, but originally from Edwardsville/ Glen Carbon, IL. My godfather lives in Bunker Hill and use to work in Alton I believe. I have always had a passion for trucks and always pictured myself driving a truck for a local farm. I have my Class A CDL, but with limited tractor experience. I have some straight truck experience and I did go to a commercial driving school for 4 weeks 120hrs of road driving experience and yard skill maneuvering. Perfect mvr and clean background. I would sure appreciate any tips or feedback you could give me to help be land a truck-driving job in Northern Illinois. Pay is not an issue. I would be willing to start at any hourly rate in order to get into grain hauling. Any help would be greatly appreciated helping my passion for farms and truck driving come true.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Sincerely,
    Chris B

    there is absolutely no money in working for a farmer hauling grain unless ur an owner operator. i know i had my cdl for 4 years and did nothin but farm work. if you have a clean record go for a real company. u shouldnt have a problem if you have clean record and background. if your serious look in phonebook under farms and start calling farm outfits... it wont take long

    I was wondering if you are still looking to haul grain. I have an opportunity to haul grain for a local coop in Northern Illinois and I am looking for someone to help me out. If this is something you might be interested in please let me know.
