Yup... I'm a noob

Hello all, My name is Brian, i'm 25yrs old and ugly to boot

Recently i've gotten more and more interested in getting a truck driving job (I have absolutely no experience) mainly cause it seems to be decent work and the pay can be good if you are willing to work for it.

I live in Dallas Tx (Garland to be exact) and there are a few companies that are pretty close to me.

I have a girlfriend that i've been with for 3 years, no kids... closest thing i have to a kid is my worthless 140lb black lab/great dane mix dog

I am a HUGE Mopar fanatic and i drive a Dodge 4x4 truck (mopar or no car)

I do have some questions about the trucking lifestyle though, my biggest concearn is the potential strain it will put on my relationship, my girlfriend is very supportive of me and we have always had a very good relationship, i really just want to be fair to her.

My other question is the companies i have been considering, i really really dont want to travel just for a job, luckily there seems to be alot of companies located in dallas.
1. Schneider (the home run program they have looks really good to me)
2. Trans Am (about 6 miles down the highway from me)

those are the only 2 i have really given thought to, i was thinking about stevens transport but after reading some of the posts and threads on here about them i QUICKLY booted them off my list

Also is there anything i need to be on the lookout for when applying for jobs

 

Thanks for the heads up, I already spend too much money modifying my truck.

 

I have a friend who used to work nightime security at the rockwall terminal, he said that the majority of the drivers that he talked to up there was really nice, of course there was a few people who didnt like the company (they said it went to hell ever since TA bought out hellwig)

 

no that wasnt him, he did get fired, but he got fired over a whole bunch of bull shi*t

he busted a driver with empty beer cans in their truck, he reported it and filled out all the paper work on it, the driver got fired, the driver turned around and sued the security company he worked for for "planting evidence in his truck" (the #### thing was locked) and the driver also raised all sorts of hell with TA and somehow managed to get his job back... but the security company fired him so they could avoid the lawsuit

this all happened about 2 years ago.
