Have I done the impossible?

try doing it in the northeast

 

Umm... I did it in the northeast.

 

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. You were ready, and the job was open. It is somewhat unusual, but not unheard of. Good luck.

 

This gives me hope.

I believe I am in one of those areas that has an over abundance of trucking work. Even though I will try to get a local or regional job, I'm keepin' it real by just assuming I will have to OTR to get experience under my belt before landing these more ideal (for me) jobs.

 

I did it too. I found a local job right out of school working for a company that leased trucks and drivers to manufacturers. I did that for a year and one of the manufacturers I delivered to decided to get their own truck. I applied for the job and got it. I feel very lucky to have it. There were drivers with 20 yrs. experience applying for the job.
My pay went up $5.00 an hr. with payed holidays and vacation plus a 401k the company contributes to.
I drive a brand new truck pulling new trailers on a dedicated run. 240 miles out and 240 back. I get about 60 hrs. a week with time and half after 40 hrs.
The only downside is I work midnights, but I'm starting to get used to the hours.
So no it's not impossible, but you need to get out there and hunt these jobs down. And APPLY .

 

Its not rare really. Getting my class a at a company that requires two years

 

Good for you sir! So did I!

 

it looks to me like your from michigan and thats not the north east

 

It is impossible! This is all a dream and you are about to wake up at the moment of the next loud sound!

Heheheheee

Impossible? Hell no.

Ive been saying all along that LTLs do hire rookies, you just have to knock on doors.

To any wannabe driver reading this: You dont have to do a day over the road to get into the trucking industry, if you are dedicated enough.
