It just can't get better then that!!!

I would keep it until you know that you will not get stuck out somewhere. But if I knew that I would be back to the yard each day, then backing a day cab into those tight food delivery spots might be ideal. It is soooo much easier to do a blind back.

But ya, it's not a big rig. Heheheheeee

Congrats on the good fortune.

Wait, what was it that Han said?

Oh, yeah...

Don't get ####y, kid!

It's nice to get the plum job right out of the gate, but be careful out there.
A lot more bad can happen the closer in you are to the city.
Shiny side up...

 

Yes! Make super sure you take your time driving, backing and unloading. A good gig is something you can retire from. Meaning it pays so well you stay there for life.

But two accidents, or even one and they might let you go.

Congrats and good luck to you!

 

Definitely helps knowing somebody or having an "in". Congrats man, that's really awesome!

Not sure about not paying his dues though. Have to agree with Rage18 he's definitely going to have a difficult road ahead of him depending on what that local work entails. Local gigs can be very challenging and often are much harder to drive. Most customers don't have the large parking lots and/or docks or even receiving facilities. Lots of times its manuevering through tight parking lots full of four wheelers and other obstacles. It can often take some real strategy to figure out how to get in out of some of those places. This is usually why the local positions only hire experienced drivers. Not only are you looking out for side to side and back to front but you also have to worry about power lines, low overhangs, signs, awnings etc... building corners can sneak up on you too! Be especially careful in the winter time when obstacles can be buried in snow banks and such. A propane tank in a snow bank could ruin your day!

Good luck man.... Once again, congrats!
