    Welcome back. A lot of people, especially newer drivers leave. But often they soon realize it not a lot better elsewhere and come back. So whatever your reasons, welcome back, drive safe and legal and enjoy the ride.

    So glad to know its working out so good for you elsewhere. Not everybody is USA material and some do leave before fulfilling their part of the 1 year commitment. But as I said earlier, many leave and do come back.

    Well I can only hope things go well in my new job but I have no problem saying that if they do not i would have no problem coming back to USA. I am treated well and am run as hard as I want to be. I was not seeking employment elsewhere, it just fell in my lap. I wish you all many miles.

    im starting week 2 at C1 tomorrow. Kinda wild how many people have dropped so far. Over ten people still had not passed the permit tests by the end of the first week. wild. Makes me soooo glad i already have my cdl, and this is all just refresher for me.

    I hope i get a FM as good as yours WV. I have always avoided the hazmat thing.....mainly cuz you have to pay for the security check thing..AND in ohio you have to pay to take the test. But i may give it a shot..so that im not one of those drivers sitting in a flying j, over the weekend with no load...while someone else is rolling with a hazmat load ( went through all that at my last company)

    ITS WORTH IT! Trust this from a guy who runs a lot of HAZMAT. Everybody will tell you its not worth the hastle. The weird routing, the restrictions, the "bullseye on your truck," having to enter all open scales, etc. I've heard it all. But you said the magic words right there! Not wanting to sit with nothing to do when you could be running a load that nobody else is qualified to take! Plus, my most interesting experiences at customers have been on HAZMAT loads. Completely different treatment than general freight. Its hard to describe the experience but the shippers and receivers of this stuff are generally specialty and they treat the driver a little more special than say a grocery warehouse would treat you. Plus the extra $.03/mile helps too. Especially when I get loads like my current. 1300 loaded miles at $.37/mile!
     
    themoj0 Thanks this.
