Young new driver w/ questions

Wal, the 21 you can drive over the road. It's the age 25 that matters in hazmat, particularly say Fuel, Gasoline etc.

 

No no I meant your first year of driving experience. And I mean I don't see why it matters. I was 21 when I started.

 

Who was the girl that worked for Jim Palmer and made all the YouTube videos?

 

Jim Palmer is a good place for some drivers. I would go there if I didn't know where to start and can get through the longish "riding with a trainer" period. They (and Prime) call it B Seat Driver. You & trainer do 30k or 40k miles. The school and very small class size is very good. Their health insurance, when I looked at it, was extremely expensive. I think it was $375/mo for a single. Your money went into an HSA, so it's always your money but it's not conventional medical insurance. That may have changed. Also, I don't like reefer freight. There are too many reasons for delays.

I always say picking a company is like getting shoes. It matters how they fit you. Nothing else is as important as the fitbvbwith you. Expensive shoes that don't fit you are not as good as cheap shoes that fit just right, even if other shoes fit me like a dream.

Jim Palmer & Prime are kind of picky so anything non-optimal in your work history or driving record MIGHT prevent you driving for them. Many other good companies will hire you as a newbie.

 

Allie Knight or something like that? Think she quit trucking.?

 

Hell, I'm 22 and started driving at 21. Had my license since I was 19. I started off with a mega carrier, worked there for 6 months and left for a smaller company with about 25 trucks. Never too young to start driving. Don't regret starting at all.
