Getting Started In The Trucking Business

try community college for a third and get four weeks training.

I was otr 3 months then landed a petroleum job, paid more than the otr and I was home every night and weekends off. you just gotta look constantly for an opportunity while you are out doing the otr thing, unless otr is what you want to stay with.

In my opinion to many guys are doing what ALL the guys are doing. To make the best money you have to do something different, either hazmat, tanker, or oversize over dimensional work. doing the niche pays the best... and I'm here for the moula...

 

the biggest mistake guys make is thinking an increse in earnings will solve their problems - when in fact they are the problem...

ones personal spendning habits will not change - and for many if you make 5 bucks an hour or 50 you will be broke.


evaluate your habits and set GOALS...

going OTR as a road dog (being gone for weeks on end) is only one option - there are many other jobs that would allow you to be home more.


7k for school is about average - and you will easily realize that 7 k your first year (depending on what career or lack there of you came from).

chin up - and look deeply at your situation and motivation.

 

Trucker students/wannabe's need to take a vacation in California.......... school's here run $3,000 - $5,000 max!

And of course........ everything is better in California

If you are considering the carrier/training way........ I would look into Schneider....... if you QUALIFY for them...... they might be a great place to start........

Yep, Yep, Yep............ ALWAYS live below your means!!!
