Got my physical and Class A permit

Congrats, and good luck.

 

So what is your concern about the physical? You do know most companies will still make you get a physical from their doctors right? If you have some serious problem. You might want to hold off shelling out all that cash for Hazmat until you are sure you can pass most physicals.

 

Make copies of your long form and medical card. Some states require the long form and trucking can be hard on copies. Keep one copy at your home.

Starting the Haz-mat process and also the TWIC process can make you more employable but the cost add up. As long as you can afford it, there is nothing wrong with your approach. There are many companies that will as Dinomite says have you re take the physical. Many never use the hazmat or twic cards. As you start focusing on what areas of trucking you want to do, having all the stuff gives you options. I think we all get doubles and triples but very few of us drive them. And none of us would if we had any sense.

Put your location on your profile. And welcome to trucking.

 

You'll make an excellent driver,you keep ahead of the game.

 

Nothing breeds success like determination and a great attitude. Best of luck to you.

 

Holy ####. I about fell off my chair. Are you being positive? Hehe!!

 

By and large getting my TWIC has been a big waste of $$. I've hardly used it so far and it's been a year. And I haul chemicals so you'd think they would want to see it a lot, but not in my experience. So my input is to hold off on it. Don't be too hasty to get it. I put it down to more Govt drama and BS than anything else for $129

 

Are doubles and triples really that bad ??? Just curious !
