Looking into the Trucking scene, few questions?

The deal with the one or two year contract, isn't that trucking companies have so much invested in a Student for training, because they don't. Student training is a huge money maker for them. These companies are all self insured, use old trucks, and it costs them little to nothing for 3 weeks of instruction. They do however, just like a community college, earn big money for truck driver training. $5K+ for three weeks of training is probably the most expensive tuition per an hour out there. That is why community colleges and mega training companies are in the game, for the money.

Mega trucking companies are well aware most students will not finish or leave before completing school or completing the contract. They count on it. They can sell more school and make more money.

 

Your a girl, and a good looking one at that, not that I'm trying to pick you up, but this world is a girls world!! Get your license and go knocking on doors and I'll bet you'll find a home pretty quickly. Good luck sweetheart, and be wise and more importantly, Safe!!

 

Stews' got a dongle.

 

• Have you considered what type of freight you will Haul?
• Driving OTR (living out of a Truck)?
• Driving Local?
• Have you considered the impact this job will have on your family/friends/relationships?
• How much time will you need at home (1 time a mth, or everynight, etc)?

(questions that one might ask when looking at a trucking job)

 

You mean Stewie doesn't look like a young Sally Fields?

 

You already know the routine. And it sounds like you have self discipline. You should go far.

Want to make money in trucking? Make a name for yourself. Everyone around you, from the school to the company training, will be doing just enough to get by. You will see these fools talking grandiose talk, from being born in a truck, to being a navy seal in disguise. But the first things out of their mouths when they get into orientation is where they won't go and what they won't do. Navy Seal, yet afraid to take a load to Manhattan. Hmmm...it's sort of like telling everyone how great a fighter you are, but never taking a tough fight.

When you sign on with a company, bring that A Game. It doesn't matter what everyone else does, you do your best. Every day. Every load. You WILL stand out. Even at a mega carrier. As long as you work there, you are obligated to do your best. The money will come after the name is made. When you have proven that you can work hard, lets began to work smarter. Your entry level companies are just to get your foot in the door. Establish yourself and move on to smarter money. Put your handle on the driver's door, under the window. It's more important than the name of the company you pull for. Anyways, keep us in the loop. If I see you I will buy you lunch.

Luck in battle, friend.

 

Somebody was only checking out the trucks while watching Smokey and the Bandit? Amazing what gets by some people:
