Hey Yall

Hey Yall, I am looking to enter the trucking industry. I am sick of the job I have now. It is boring just sitting on the boat. I do not currently have a CDL so most companies refuse to even give me a chance. I do know the basics of driving a manual transmission (yes I do also know a semi trans is different than the one in my F150, but I do at least know something) I do also have experience with bigger vehicles with airbrakes. I am a volunteer firefighter and drive the trucks a lot. One truck is 30 feet long and weighs over 30,000 pounds. (Fire departments are excempt from CDL laws) I am hopeing to find a company that will allow me to take my pet with me, at least after training. I have put in applications, but the only two offers I have are from CR England and Stevens. I will not go with Stevens because I cannot take my pet with me, I need a buddy. Other than that... I would love to travel the country.

 

Thanks... Trying to find a company... I have received an offer from CR England, but not sure if they will pay me while I am in school, and if they will allow me to have my cat when I drive on my own...

 

Thanks Kansas. I am willing to go just about anywhere for almost any length of time if I can take him with me... Everyone who has offered me a positio in says no to pets (CR England Stevens and Millis) He really is my family. I have no one else that I really talk to in person. Just trying to find a good company to learn from. If treated right, I would stay with them for my entire carear. Would having experience driving a fire truck help me at all? It does have airbrakes on it, but a stupid auto trans.
