Hard Decision - Getting Hired at 21 With No CDL Experience

When you happen upon one of those "Hallmark Cards" moments..... moonrise over a freshly snowed field, sunrise creeping down the Rockies, that redhead sunbathing out behind her house where only the truckers can see over the fence..... it will all be worth it.

 

This is not true. Company training can be what you make of it.

To the OP truth is man there are 1,000 different scenarios that may or may not happen come up with a plan that you believe in and go in knowing that there is a good chance that absolutely nothing will go as you planned it. If that happens roll with the punches, take what pain you have to, and stick with it if you really believe it's worth it.

 

Winter is the perfect time to go with a trainer, just because it is the slow time of the year.

The trainer has more time to actually train you, and the truck stops are less crowded so parking is a lot easier.

It is also much better to be with someone with experience driving in snow and ice when you are first starting out.

And during training you get the same paycheck whether you are running miles or not.

It may take a bit longer, which can be a strain if you are not a teaming type (like me) - but that is probably the only drawback.

 

If you want the training....do it while you're young and single and don't have alot of expenses. The best decision you've made so far is avoiding CR England! Pretty much any other company out there is better than England.

 

im considering trucking too, my job now has led me to a dead end...does anyone know anything about central refridgerated?? ive herd good and bad. thanks

 

yea, central seems solid but every company has ups and downs...have you filled out ur application?
