Can't Wait To Haul Freight

Good Luck, sounds like a start, but you need to the http://thetruckersreport.com and read the articles on owner operators and leases....

 

Make sure you sign a lease-purchace agreement so you are guaranteed a successful career....

Any number of good, reputable carriers would love to make you rich.

 

It's good to have ambition, and I wish you the best of the luck. That being said, you're a little too hot to trot here. If you've ever jumped into a cold lake and your balls tried jumping up into your stomach as a result of it, that's what you're going to find yourself in for proverbially if you decide to go all in before you're ready to.
Even though you've graduated from school, you still have a lot to learn, both about the industry and about operating a big truck.
I'm sure you'll learn these things just fine, just realize that it doesn't happen overnight.

 

Wait and see how much Ryder laughs when a newbie shows up wanting a rig to haul freight nationwide .

 

Your CDL is a license to learn. The advice above is good info.

I love to hear people with that kind of enthuisim. I hope you dont listen to all the bad things and let it get you down. Some of it is true but doesnt mean it has to happen to you. Try and learn from others mistakes and live your dream man. Best of luck. Make it happen

 

It's nice to see that your enthusiastic about trucking, believe me, I can relate. I love this Career choice and honestly couldn't be happier.

I got on with a Great Starter Company and haven't had one problem with them yet. I love working for them because their safety conscious.

As for Owner Operator, I wouldn't recommend going that route right out of school. Trust me, i wanted to buy my own truck and trailer and lease onto a company right away. I had some good people on this forum guide me in the right direction though. I'm a company driver for now. I'm waiting to get a few years under my belt and get more experience before going O/O. I'm saving money until I turn 23 and can go O/O with a company I've been reading about.

You'll have to push through the bull.... and find the good information other drivers will leave on this forum.
