Getting your feet wet..

I've been in trucking for a total of four and a half months and the patented doesn't matter at first. Just focus in delivering your loads on time, then your dispatcher will start to give you longer loads.

 

try henderson we deliver over by barstow as much as our loads go into cali

 

hi

I'm sorta in the same boat, I dont have my cdl yet and have been checking into companies. I looked at Prime but decided against them because your with a trainer for 4 to 6 months before you get your own truck. they dont start your 12 month for schooling until you get your own truck either. so total your working for them for a year and a half. I decided to go with central, 2 weeks in school and then 5 weeks with a trainer and you only pay for half of school as long as you stay a year

 

Harley I started with Central Refrigerated. Went through their school in Fontana and drove for them for a year and then went elsewhere for better money. That was in the Fall of 2005. I will say I got good runs, was always able to get home to SoCal when I needed and I STAYED AWAY FROM THEIR LEASE PROGRAM.

 

What ever you decide to do don't get pulled into a lease. You said you use to have your own business which great. First thing is you need to lean to be a truck driver before trying to be an owner operator /lease operator. You need to learn time management as far as you logs go. Don't take that the wrong way ..just a lot of guys / gals wanna start at the top and I'm sure you know how well that usually turns out. Just my 2 cents anyway, good luck trucking is what you make it.
