Driving at night is like driving after a zombie apocalypse that took out drivers of 4-wheelers. When you start driving, 4-wheelers and their constant/dangerous/stupid acts are the biggest irritation in this job. LTL or linehaul means you never see customers and you never deal with bored sipping clerks that MUST finish their 90 minute epic saga of "oh no she di unt" before doing her job. Night time is the right time for truck driving.

Don't forget Tanker. Tanker endorsement is required to carry certain items of freight inside or on other trailers. Tanker is the easiest endorsement test. None of the endorsements expire, except HazMat. The are one time tests that allow you to haul ANY freight.Chinatown Thanks this.

Passed my CDL, and have been hired by Franks Vacuum Truck Service. What they do is haul the waste water and ash from incinerators. It is a regional job, I will be out 3 nights a week going places like Cincinnati, Boston, NYC and LI (those pay an extra $75) Small company, less than 40 drivers, starting pay well above what the mega carriers pay. I will need to get tanker and hazmat.
Chinatown Thanks this.
