    hello, i am 21 years old been driving now for about 5 months.. im not a long hauler atm since i work for GM in ingersoll. (locally) bring in parts

    i have lil bit of high way experience.. city to city (60km's trip) both ways

    got very lucky that i got this job (few ppl that i know work there, and thats why i got the job)

    i always wanted to be a long hauler and own my own truck.. but after working with so many experienced drivers. i might just end up staying where i am for few years

    i did work 11am - 11pm 5 x week which i was in my bed every night.. roughly make $3300, most ppl say u wont be making much being on the road 5-6 days

    If you decide to go long haul, get your tanker/hazmat endorsements first, then you won't take a pay cut, but will actually get a pay increase. It's good you like what you're doing. Many of us would go crazy with a local job. I personally preferred running 48 states with tanker/hazmat. Best wishes.

    Check with the DMV off where you renew your liscense. You may not need one now, but you will be prepared if a good job comes along that you're interested in. Also, get a passport & TWIC. I takes awhile to do all this, and sometimes those job openings need to be filled quickly.
