I reckon an introduction is in order.

Hello my name is not that important. I am starting school on Monday. Been reading the forum for awhile now, and if I have learned anything:

STAY AWAY from leasing from the company you work for!
Stay away from Chicago companies.

So, I am 28; use to sale cars until they told me I was too patriotic. Was in the military for a bit, and drove a lot of different things in my short years. Look forward to learning from the veterans, and maybe show a veteran something. (Not getting my hopes up) but drive safe and look out you got a month before I'm hammer down!

 

Western Washington, near Seattle.

Yes, on the endorsements. While taking my permit test I covered: General, Air, Comb, Doubles/Triples, Tanker. When I go back to finalize my CDL I will take the HAZMAT test. Working on my passport as well.

OTR for a few years or so, then maybe local. I have always kinda admired the lifestyle and the adventure, just always threw the idea out. My wife and I sat down one night and talked about job choices and trucking is what keeps surfacing. So I guess we will see what will happen.

I known there is a lot of companies to choice from, it is #### near confusing. Home time is really a factor considering my first 3 years of marriage was in the military. If you have some suggestions, I'd entertain what you have to say.

 

I'll take my chances, I was on a farm for 13 years. I suspect I have some experience in this business just not 80k lbs. But like I said, I'm here to learn.
