Is Trans Am a good company to start with?

That trazadone may be the thing that stops you... My ex wife used to take that and I tried it twice and it knocked me out cold both times. Powerful stuff, I think the DOT may frown on it based ony experience with it, bit I can not say for sure.

Ignore the Nancy Boy comments... Any jackwagon can buy a computer and go on line. Always consider the source.

 

It's not about only what the DOT allows. Its what the company allows. Trans Am will get you to orientation force you into a lease. Then you really will find out about anxiety. Sorry guy but as another guy said. This is not the best industry for those who suffer from anxiety issues. This industry can make the mellowest of persons insane in the membrane. There was a guy in Amarillo who was trying to run over people and run from the law, and I'm sure that's what he suffered from. Having a nervous breakdown can come at any time. I don't think a company who value's its operating authority would take a risk on you. The lawyers would have a field day if you hurt somebody in their truck.

 

If TransAm will take you, then go for it and stick with them for 12 months. After that you can re-evaluate your situation and decide your next move. Use TransAm as a stepping stone to get where your really want to be.

 

No,dont recommend them.Used to drive local in KC area.Trans Am is at 169 Paola exit off 35 in Olathe. Lots of empty trucks in there parking lot always.Drivers dont make squat and theyll starve you out on lease purchase scheme. What Ive heard (from former drivers).You could try R&L carriers in Pleasant Valley Mo.Pay good but heavy on hand unloading. Always busy and hiring it seems like.Must be ready to work and usually can go home every night. Must make sure you wont have to move your truck for your 10 hours off if if dopeing up when you shut down obviously. If you like trucking dont listen to the self proclaimed experts and go for it. I understand who wants to work at Walmart for min wage 32 hours week. Wasting your talents.Skip trans am its a scam. Theres a lot of truck co that will let you run local in KC radius then you can safely go home and get medicated safely.Just be ready to handle some freight if you physically can. Youll get built up to it quickly. JMO

 

As an anxiety disorder sufferer myself, I've learned that until someone has actually experienced debilitating anxiety for themselves, they will never understand the full nature of this disease. You're doing the best you know how to do. Just make sure you're staying on top of managing your medication because that can mess you up quick if you slip on taking it regularly.
