Where to go

Want to do you want to do? Where ya live?

 

Best Place to Start is relative to what you want to do, how you want to run, and where you want to run. Do you have family (wife & kids) as this is another consideration. Fill in the blanks and we will help to narrow your search!

 

What country are you trying to drive in?

 

Pick a place, you are most likely not going to be there more than 6 months to a year. Pick what ever sounds the best for you situation and go, get some experience and while you are out on the road, look into where you next want to go. Talk to drivers, learn about the companies you have never heard of. That's where you will begin to make money and enjoy the job.

 

Put your location on your profile; we can't recommend much if we don't know the hiring area you live in. Also, age matters, are you over 21,22 or 23.

 

Flatdecking is work! You will get dirty, and get tired of hauling around tarps.

On the plus side, decks usually get loaded and unloaded quick! Like right now! No sitting around for three days.

Deck work is OK, if you are physically capable of climbing around on a 14' tall load of whatever, and hooking 1001 Bungee cords.

You'll also become proficient at throwing straps over a load, requiring strength and ability that would mirror that of a football pro.

How far you want to run is up to you... My last deck job, I just did day trips. Home every night.

If you have a family, that would work best. If you leave for weeks at a time, your wife will most likely hook up with your friend, and then file for divorce. Understand this.

If you're single? Enjoy the open road. I did! I'm local now, but I've been driving for a long time!

 

You're in NC.

Look into Watkins Shepard in Conover NC- exit 128 on I-40.

Orientation is an easy 2 weeks then you're in your own truck. And, it is possible to be home every weekend, if that's what you want.
