Should I start trucking?

Being a professional truck driver = safety and in control of your surroundings. You need more math skills than a BA in english! I have very little experience in a truck but I do understand that everyone else on the road is in a hurry or distracted. Next time you are in your car (or truck) just observe. Really look at our fellow human beings. Does everyone need to trip plan their commute an hour early to not be in such a #### hurry?? Why the heck does everyone need to be somewhere so fast??

You have to be in control always. Need to think slow and steady!!! What happens when you get into a situation when everyone around you is beeping their horn and cursing at you because you are holding up their commute? Are you gonna freak out and cause an accident? Better yet just relax and smile put on your 4 ways and say "Maam, I am gonna need you to pull over a little so I can get around you." Thank them and have a truckin good day!

 

Paschall Truck Lines in Murray, KY will probably hire you when you complete the CDL school.
They may pre-hire you right now if you do the online application.
They cut a lot of slack with drivers that have some problems in their past.
It's a pretty good dry van company and trucks have APU's.

 

Many new drivers wouldn't even bother to research and find this thread. His passion isn't what is in question here. You hardly know his intention to judge. I know plenty of B.A.'s without a clue....it's the American way!

 

Wow... What ever happened to "no pain, no gain? Or "just do it"? Or "Work hard, play hard"? Or "Kill it and Drag it Home"? That's the American Way I know...

You see how it was a matter of passion?

I'm glad you noticed I was bashing your behavior and not your record or your B.A's. You have a couple of companies willing to train you. That's all you need!! If trucking is your passion, let your self know that it is. Quit asking if you should and just get it done!
