I'm going to have to say the same thing everyone else has said. Learn the business first, take a year to run the road. The two companies, Abilene and Cargo Transporters are both very good to start out with. First hand experience trumps what someone says in my book.

As far as hijacking the thread, it's all good, if we can offer some advice to help him make a decision, then it's worth it. In fact, I thought this was pretty good.

Did not know that you used to drive a truck since you have "no" under your avatar.

Took a 2 stopper down to St Pete and Sarasota. Left yesterday from the yard at 11am, went to Hampton for a drop and hook and am now empty. A nice 1000 mile overnight run. Now I'm waiting for the load planner to get over his surprise that I'm empty down here so I can turn around and get back for the morning to end this pay period real good with 5 days off.

Now that I overcame the shock and awe, I have to brag about what happened this morning. My all time favorite DM emailed me at 11am this morning while I was pulling out of my last drop and wanted to know if I wanted to go to Tracy California after I get back to richmond tomorrow. After 18 months here at Abilene, this is the first time I've ever been preplanned. I didn't know it ever happened here. 5 minutes after I told him sure it was sitting on my Qualcomm. Unreal, I'm still a little speechless.
Mr klean2k12, Time4Change and DevilDog79 Thank this.
