Worst case scenario, if I hate it I'll put in a few months and look elsewhere. That's the beauty of the trucking industry...anyone will hire you...
I actually got hired by a local feed mill since posting this. I'm starting on the night shift next week, 12 hour nights with every third weekend...
If I had Thursday/Friday off for 2 weeks and then Saturday/Sunday the third week, and then Thursday/Friday off the 4th week, then I would either...
I will find out eventually but it's Sunday night and I'm anxious lol
I'm starting with a company soon and I'm trying to figure out their shift schedule. I would call and ask them about it but I don't want to seem...
They came to my school to recruit. You have to be 23 to work for them. If I wanted to go over the road I would go with them. They get you home...

I have a weird question. I already have my CDL and medical card, and I'm on my way to do a pre-employment physical and drug test for a new company...
Hahaha that's ok, you're living the American dream. That doesn't sound too bad. It's good to know that the work schedule doesn't mess up your weekend.
A big part of trucking for me would be that I'm able to enjoy seeing out the window and exploring, to a point. That and if I work weekends I'll...
I guess it depends on the shift hours. The one poster said he did 3 PM to midnight most nights which I would hardly consider an overnight shift. I...
You're right that I've never done shift work and I'm a new driver. I'm single and I'll be living in a rural area so daytime noises shouldn't be a...
In general, what are the shift hours?
Does anyone here have experience driving at night, specifically for a get home daily job? I'm hoping to start driving for a local feed mill and...
