Career goals

Where do you live, Wisconsin?
We need your location so we know the hiring area you live in.

 

That's for you to decide. Nobody can answer that question but you. It's good that you want to set goals but they have to be your goals. Like for me it was gasoline hauling and working for a major oil company. I found out what they required for a driver to work there and I worked at various companies to get there. Above all you've got to keep your record clean. Say that you want to haul specialized loads like explosives or radioactive loads. You go out and find out who does that kind of work and you get a job heading towards that. Get all the training you can so the end companies do not have to spend a lot of money to train you. The more you become specialized the more you become attractive to the better jobs. You need to become a driver in demand.

So sit down and think it over on what you want to do. If you're married get your wife involved. Where do you want to retire. Just don't think about the money but think about how you want to survive at retirement. And don't think in broader terms like just hauling freight because that's what you'll do, just haul freight. Put some thought in it and then we can help you trim it down. Good luck.

 

At what age would you like to retire? That would be a huge determining Factor

 

Which company do you plan to start with? There's dozens to choose from, depending on your location. Put your location on your profile.

 

Great advice
