Career choice, get my CDL at 20?

You DO NOT HAVE "FREE REIGN" -- to schedule your driving times/hours.

Those are dictated by your assigned loads from dispatch....and the corresponding delivery/pick-up times.

THOSE SAID TIMES WILL BE ALL OVER THE CLOCK -- BOTH DAY, AND NIGHT.

Thus -- you can say "good-bye"......to a regular sleep time period/schedule.

In most cases -- in these circumstances -- you are expected to perform (for the most part) like a machine.

Congratulations! You have thus achieved true "meat in the seat" driver status.

If....after all the above you still think you might be interested in a CDL class "A" career......to ensure that you are the closest thing to a "first pick" candidate for "starter" carriers that will be hiring when you get your CDL-A license:

• STAY SINGLE -- AND CHILDLESS (mentioned earlier)
• Avoid any/all traffic citations; DON'T DRIVE OVER POSTED SPEED LIMITS
• Avoid criminal activity/charges; avoid assault charges (no bar fights)
• Keep your credit scores as high as possible
• Avoid any/all traffic accidents as much as possible
• When you get your CDL -- go ahead, and get the relevant CDL endorsements: tanker, hazmat...& doubles/triples. Those endorsements are door-openers, and money-makers!!!

If you've smoked any weed, etc. get a super short haircut right now, so it will grow back by the time you get a DOT physical for school which may include a drug test. If you show up with a skinhead, the testers will take hair from anywhere else on your body.

 

How much over the speed limit were you?
When did you get the speeding ticket; date?

 

What do you think of Stevens? What’s the general consensus with them. I will be a new recruit and they offered to hire me. Not a lot of luck otherwise out of florida

 

You wouldn't start driving if you didn't know where you want to go. Don't start school until you know where you want to work.
