18 year old trucker?

Many companies won't hire until 23

you got a long way 5 years to go. Also there is no glory in being a yard jockey. You're putting too much emphasis into being a driver. Wait 5 years

 

Op get on with ups..
They'll pay you to go to school for whatever.

If I was 18 that would be my career path even if I had to be a stupid package handler and wait a few years.

I wasn't poor enough to go to college.
(That's how it works nowadays right)

With all that time waiting you could get a good degree and a real job.

 

Farmers hire 18 year old punks all the time to run their grain to elevators and contracted process facilities intrastate. You CAN NOT cross state lines, but these cheap ### farmers love cheap, cheap, hard up, young meat in their seats. Knock yourself out.

 

Unless you are already working for a company and can ease into a yard jockey position it can and will happen. It's not very likely you will get a yard jockey position at age 18 off the street.

Believe it or not, Yard jockey isn't the lowest easy attainable job, It really is a skill-set to move upwards of 80 trailers in a 8-12 hour shift in all weather conditions and not holding up production and/or not screwing up inventory of trailers for future or present use.

OP... All of this stuff is asked and answered in your previous thread. Just because you don't like what you're hearing doesn't mean its wrong.

 

Start as a sorter, bid into package car, bid into feeder, then retire.

UPS is a great top tier job. you are young enough to be molded the company way and become a lifer.

 

This is the best advice here. Work hard in school and go to college to get into a good career field. You can always take a three week course and get your CDL and drive for any of the bottom feeders for pennies.
