    Hello everyone, I'm new to this. It's a funny thing. When you're trying to create a Username you can't think of anything or they're taken. Try to explain who you are, can't think of anything there either. Well, I'm almost forty, I like to game occasionally and I'm considering trucking. I stumbled across this forum in my quest to learn all I could before I got into it. As of now I'm trying to figure out where and how to get my CDL. I think I'll post another thread explaining my story and questions because I have a ton. I do have a family friend who was a trucker but he hasn't been OTR in maybe ten or twenty years. I'm sure things have changed quite a bit. I thank you for the opportunity to be here and for any knowledge you may impart upon me.

    Some things have changed. Some things have not in a way, go visit your trucker friend.

    Ive been out of it for a long time myself but give me a hour with anything bigger than 18 wheels and 40 ton and it will be fine. Some things don't change. It's a matter of how it's done.

    The worse of it is time management versus the computer logging. It is capable of violating you one minute past a 11th hour driving for example. Things have changed in that way.

    Another change would be appointments. Once reserved for important freight now everyone has it. Once you get there and find that you sit 8 hours waiting for the dock....

    You have a whole life time to do this. This a journey. Not a math test to be checked off in class. The biggest thing is two thoughts. First

    Good LUCK!

    Second,

    God help you. /slight tease...
