I have a regular job but hours have been cut due to covid 19 Ive been considering a career change and trucking intrigues me Ive learned alot from this site but Im really a hands on guy just thought I would reach out for some help if anyone interested hit me back. Thanks in advance

    How old are you? What is your driving record?

    It would be best if you started out as a company driver before becoming an owner operator.

    Oh nooooo I didnt mean to give off the vibe that I wanted to be a O/O thats something way down the road maybe. Im more interested in learning about operating the truck and the daily operations. I dont wanna pay for school if I dont have too Im in the process of getting my class A with all the endorsements but testing is taking longer due to pandemic I drove locally several years back it was only a cement mixer I dropped the class A and endorsements when I left the field big mistake, Thanks for the advice though.
