Exactly

By the way, yesterday I passed and got my CDL with all my endorsements except passenger.

 

Right on, Let us know how it goes. Any idea what company you are going to work for?

 

As far as a starting company goes, I would suggest checking out Gordon Trucking Inc. This is the company that I started with. They have an excellent training program. They do not run you and the trainer as a team. The trainer is there to observe, citique(sp?), and instruct. When I was with them they had pretty much the best starting pay. Btw, they mainly run the 11 western states. I got onto the southwest regional fleet a month after I started(it's not advertised, and I found out about it by talking with another driver). I basically ran ca and az. I did a lot of vegas to phoenix runs for example. I was also home pretty much every weekend.

 

Hey Luman,
How was the pay? that sounds like something I want to do if the pay is good.

 

I went to their web site, but they don't have the pay chart posted anymore. I believe that I was at .34 cpm starting out. You get 1 cpm raise after 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. I can't remember exactly...it has been 4 years since I worked for Gordon Trucking. The southwest regional fleet I was on payed the same as any other fleet btw...there is no variation...such as working for werner or some such.

These days I'm hauling livestock. I run about 485 miles per day at $205 per trip....5 days a week(home every night and off fri & sat).

 

You'll get it. It's easy

 

I just finished orientation today and now I play the waiting game for a trainer. We'll see how it goes.
