    Hello all from NY !

    Is December/ January a bad time to apply for a Truck driving position ???
    Considering that the holidays will be over and freight will possibly be lower at that time of year .
    I have one more semester of college to go before I get my degree and I would like to get on the road directly after .

    Thanks in advance for any advice !

    Go apply , and ask them questions too , ask to see what you will drive , after all you don't want to be driving around a unsafe truck either , think about whats important to you in a job and ask them about it. Everyone needs money to live ! Go for it . Good luck !

    Winter may be the BEST time to apply. Lotta "drivers" falling out of the fold during those months. Go for it!

    @ Demi . No the degree will be in Paralegal studies . I plan on going either to Ferrari or CDT for my PHD in trucking lol !
    I really would like to move out of NY ( the cost of living here is just crazy and its getting soooo over crowded ! ) and trucking seems to be on of those careers where I can take a look at how the rest of the country is living .

    The best time to apply for a trucking job is the same as the best time to buy a house. When you need one.

    Dec Jan worst time to apply start. Learning to drive in winter is a pia. Go with spring early summer build up that confidence for the ice road.
