LC Transportation

Hey, I have read thru all of the post here about LC WOW!! What a company to work for, I'm as grren as the grass on the newest baseball firld, I'm going to CDL School and will graduate in July, I hope to find my second career where I can retire and float off into the sunset(slowly) I have been a courier driving a peeecup or a small car for most all my life, I'm in my mid 40's and need a change of scenery, I have owned my own companies and I have done alot of stuff but never drove a big truck over the road, I like many of you used to watch the "Big Twucks" go down the road as I laid in the back window and dreamed of driving like those guys did! Well that is coming to a reality for me, I am looking forward to it, I like all of the nice advise that is given here on this site, I don't pay any attention to those who walk into a room nd then there A$^ comes in about 5 minutes later or who are dragging their lip on the ground because they have had it puckered up all there lifes waiting for someone else "To put the screws to them" I am a very positive person and think that life is 99.9 percent what you make of it. I look forward to hearing from all of you happy Drivers out there. I am impressed with LC from what I have read here and on their web site. Thanks. TD.

 

Hey TD! You should PM Scooterdawg and ask to buy a copy of his book. It's a quick and informational read about his experiences as a newbie. He's living off the royalties from it now so the price might not be as reasonable as it used to be!!

 

Now, you need to realize something else..... driving truck, especially OTR, is far from easy work. The hours are long, the waiting time is long, the roads can be tough, and being away from loved ones is even tougher. You need to make sure that you have the support of your family in this. Also, understand that it IS a job, but it is also a LIFESTYLE. And it is not for everyone. Go into this with your eyes wide open. There is a lot more to it than jamming gears, and riding off into the sunset.


Thank You Very Very Much, I have all of the support I can ever have, Living in Arizona some of the smaller companies I am finding run thru here often, I'm hoping I will get plenty of home time once I go solo, I appreciate the help, I'm not one to know very much about anything but I can learn quickly, If you guys have or hear of any smaller companies that are hiring New Grads I would appreciate the word. I've look at several of the larger ones, They are exactly what you say just a mill shaking the trunk to see what fruit stays a little it longer, That fruit we may be able to make into a driver... May be not. Thanks Again. TD.
