Here I come

Hello, everyone. I'm taking training from Rocky Mountain Truck Driving School in Albuquerque, just got my permit, in the trucks next week. If things go well, I'll get my Class A in January. I've wanted to work OTR for a long time, then I was a single Dad for 15 years, started making heavy dollars in town. Now, no strings attached, and I really need to get something going. A couple of "bottom feeders" have provided pre-approval offers, but I don't really put too much weight on that. I drove a straight truck reefer w/Cummins 350 turbo for 4 years and 500K miles, but there wasn't anything huge and heavy hooked on the back of the box. It seems that if I don't sweat the small stuff and do what I'm supposed to, I should get along OK. In the carpenter's union, they have a 3 year apprentice program, you're a wood worm the whole time, and even then you have to be a good boy. I'm looking forward to making it rain out there on American highways. (some Canadian highways if I go with Con-way) Please let me know your thoughts and experiences. Thanks.

 

Yeah, TennMan, no matter what, you gotta pay your dues. I like that. Weeds out the prima donna's.
