New Driver looking for Advice

Taking your girlfriend on the truck from day one, and your wife is not making the divorce easy ... Go figure.

Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

Do yourself a favor and get your own life and career together first before adding more drama.

 

Excellent advice.op is looking for the shortest training possible so he's going to have to focus his attention strictly on his job.if I wanted to bring a passenger that would be the furthest from my mind for now and learn the job,companies policies and the laws.

 

Crete/Shaffer and USA Truck have day one rider policies but Id stay away from USA

 

What's wrong with USA Truck? Drivers make pretty good money there from what they post.
Crete/Shaffer trucks are too slow and they have driver facing cameras.

 

That's good advice

 

Check with Freymiller; they take new cdl grads and have rider program. The website may have "experience required", but that's not the case. They recruit from cdl schools.

 

Werner just upped the pay on otr to 35 cpm. Day one rider, decent bcbs Nebraska. Trucks a crap shoot. I had a ####ty one before I got a new kw. It's hit or miss.

 

How about this one; don't know if they have rider program or not.
