Hello everyone, I am new to this blogging site and I see there are other MAD CRST's out there. I feel your pain!
I'd been wanting to be a Professional Truck Driver almost all of my life but I could never seem to get the timing quite right. I finally got into this industry this past November and I love driving, like I knew I would! I knew I'd made the right decision as soon as I was behind the wheel, kind of like having that "born to do this" feeling. It's a great accomplishment to have acquired the skills to handle these big rigs and I look forward to driving for many years to come.
Even though I've only been out here for 4 short months, I have learned enough to know that I want to do a Regional run, staying as close to Florida as possible. OTR is great for the experience of driving in all kinds of terrain and weather, but you just can't get home enough. If anyone out there knows of any companies that are hiring and that are based out of Florida, Georgia or Alabama, please let me know!

This is a common problem, you usually have to drive for a co. for a while in order to get a regional gig . Good luck in your new venture .
