    You'll make more money pulling reefers than dry vans.
    But, sometimes we have to take what we can get.

    KLLM Driving Academy Student - KLLM Transport Services

    This company is advertising for student/new drivers out of Alabama (per the above link).

    Full training provided.

    They are based over in Jackson, MS -- so almost all driving to/from for you should be interstate.

    I know someone who works for a company refueling locomotives; he is on call on some of his off days and sometimes will work all weekend long, and in all weather. He gets paid well, he said he gross $90k without a problem but ... he said sometimes the train is parked on a siding where there is little acess for a trailered tank, and a couple of times he was stuck in the snow. There were a couple times when he had to pull all his hose under the train to fill the opposite tank because they were not balanced.
     
    Walk Among Us, Chinatown and tscottme Thank this.
