    The only thing you need to be a trucker is know how to drive, dock, and not complain. Everything else you learn as you go. Hell, some with the job are still learning how to drive and dock. Trucking companies will put you on a seat regardless of what your past experiences are. They just need a seat warmer for their appointments.

    Heres my thinking, i already know how to stock drinks and food from hand carts i do it all day at McDonald's with cases of drink and meat. Then at dg i stocked cases of storebrand soda onto hand carts to stock on the shelves. Not to mention all the stocking from big metal hamdcarts

    Since im already good at stocking all day, have a clean background , mvr and am going through school for my cdl i should stand a pretty good chance. From what I've seen most of the job is stocking and rotating product while driving from location to location. Anything im missing
