    First, you need to find out if the company that you're planning on going to will accept your school. Try to go to the school that is recognised by the most trucking companies.

    Trucking will be,and always has been a job that you get what you put into it.Trucking companies are very skeptical of people nowadays.These big fortune 500 companies could care less about you,hiring a student is a huge tax deduction for them.I have worked for a few companies in my past,but I shy away from big companies,I am now with a company that is small and more like a family business.The smaller companies have to work harder and hustle more to get freight because of the competition.I am not a number where I work,and that's the way I prefer it.When it comes to training,these big companies take you on,use you up,treat you like garbage and don't care if you leave.There are 20 more following behind you for orientation the following Monday...Find a smaller company that will train you,you will be better off..

    Its like a 21 year old stripper with a great rack asking, "which guy in the audience really likes me for personality?

    i have never seen any trucking company that wouldn't screw you if you let your guard down. Understand what that means or you will get stuck faster than Andy on Shawshank.

    Here is some good info on the 1960 Pete used in the movie dual. They actually used 4 trucks with different engine configurations:
