    Can your buddy take you along for a shift or a few days. It's worth it to make sure it's a good fit if you can do it! Good luck!

    Don't believe everything in youtube
    Long days and nights. You will get dirty and sweaty. Then winter time freeze your arse off. Common sense goes a long ways. When in doubt. Raise your hand and voice. Never be afraid to ask questions

    Well you came to the right place here to ask. If you got a level head and common sense, some of the best in the business are here and will usually tell you anything you could ever wanna know.....

    Be careful of the you tube highway hero movie stars.

    We had a Kim Kardashian not long ago that didnt last long here because he already knew more than anyone here and didnt like good honest advice. Dont be a Kim Kardashian.

    Good luck.

    That a boy. I cant really comment on much heavy haul. Ive done lots of os/ow, similar in some aspect, but once you get into weights and axle spacings and such, total different animal.
