Hardest part of finding a job?

Haha your questions are how I started out! I ended up just getting 3 pre hires and getting with a training company with a reasonable reputation. That being Roehl.

Good luck on the job hunt.

 

Finding a carrier, that I'm willing to work for, that's hiring in my "area" has been a bit of a problem for me. It doesn't help much if you narrow choices down, then find out that your best choices aren't possibilities after all. I think wannabes should discover more about a carrier's hiring area before getting all pumped about a particular carrier.

"The world is NOT our oyster!!!!"

 

LOL No idea as I start Apr 5th. BUT! Remember, as new drivers we want pay and experience.

I think most training companies will get you both. Your job is to get as much of both that you can and as the year goes by learn what you like and don't like. Then use that to choose your next company.

Let us know who you go with and good luck.

 

For me it would be:

1. Terminal location= getting home every couple of weeks.
2. pay= not starving and able to pay bills at home.
3. Type of freight and chance to move into something specialized= more $
4. Equipment.
5. Running area.

 

Allow me is right. As a nebie you have to understand that most of the training co's are all bad. Just try to find one that you think you'll fit the best with and be ready to change plans at the drop of a hat if need be. Your main goal is experience. Once you have it then move on to something better. While training you'll likely have situations come up that will push you to your limit but keep in mind some times you just have to suck it up, grin and bear it.

 

No matter how badly anyone paints truck driving, remember that each comment comes from deferent individuals.

In other words, all the crap doesn't happen at the same time (Usually) lol.

I've done some tough jobs in the past. The way I cope is focus on the one issue you can control at that moment. If you can't change a situation, then do what you can control and make that your goal.

Find pleasure when it's completed and onto the next. You come to love doing what you can control more than just doing a job.

Remember, if it doesn't kill you then it isn't the end of the world. Laterally.
