Currently in school somewhat shocked at the amount of prehire letters I'm getting

Do you want OTR or local/regional?
Will your fiancée ride along with you?

 

I have to run an errand; will check my notes when I get back and see what I can come up with.
Some other drivers will check in with you and give you some leads.

 

Go tanker if your interested in it. Where do you live? You willing to locate?

 

If SSdI is in process or valid for the disability on the person's part that eliminates part of the problem. Medicare kicks in after two years for that from day one once processed by SSA. If the disability is mental health or some other issue, then it becomes a SSI problem. And there are a stack of rules about how that money can or cannot be used and by who.

Since you two are not married you two are two seperate people. But when and if you two do marry, then you both become one person financially for all intents and purposes.

Trucking OTR is long term. You will be gone alot.

LTL means less than truckload. One trailer could contain as many as 30 or more stops it will take you at least a week if not more to go through all those stops by hand. And you have to be on time with everyone of them. One example was we had 21 drops in Iowa across the state, the two of us as a team after loading off US 1 in Delaware with plants going to those stores in Iowa. So a total of two days to get into the State from Delaware 5 days M through F to unload all of them and half a day to dispose of the trailer and get a empty off company yard in Denver or some such and get back to normal OTR work.

Truly local means you are home every night. But you are never really able to do anything but go straight to bed because it's less than 8 hours before you have to head back out again next morning before sunrise or make ready to. One company had me ready to roll at 2 am every morning so that I will make Altoona about a bunch miles distant in ice during winter weather in the mountains by 8 Am. I usually did not get back to home yard and home until about 6 PM each night. Already late to bed. No time for anything except clean up.

Finally but not last. If something did come up you are not going home today. It will be a while. So whatever it going on at home that is a problem for someone else to take care of. You deal with trucking. You cannot deal with anything else but that until you are home on time off, with the clock already running against when you have to go out again.
