    First thing, go to your profile page and put down where you are from in the location section.
    Second, get over the apologetic attitude. You have experience. It is Class B experience but it is experience. You can change your back ground be proud of it. Hell, I am a felon and I mention that often.

    Third, always listen to Chinatown.

    Now back to experience. You have no bad habits yet. Driving a straight truck and a REAL truck are about the same thing while going forward. We all started out with 0 experience. You at least understand that the bigger the truck is the harder it is to get into tight spaces and they sure as hell don't stop on a dime. You will be asked for experience and point out how many miles you have driven in a straight truck. That puts you ahead of millions of folks who haven't done that.

    All types of trucking are different. I have all the endorsements, that doesn't mean I should be put in control of a gasoline hauling tanker. I tend to drive a bit on the speedy side. If you can adjust to the differences between a Class A and a Class B. You will do fine.

    Finally, after reading anything here that I post, hit the THANKS button below. Remember every time the THANKS button is pushed another trucker gets his CDL.

    And that is the first step to becoming a SUPER TRUCKER like me. Or a RETIRED SUPER TRUCKER (with a hot wife) like Chinatown.

    Welcome to Trucking.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
