Gee, did I rain on this guys parade? I do get my feathers ruffled when he portrays himself as a Fedex Freight Road Driver. We have company road drivers sitting at home not working because people like this guy are willing to haul the freight for next to nothing. He probably doesn't pay any taxes, and used the hospitals emergency room for his health care.

I have a hasmat endorsement thank you very much and I had a clearance in the military, so background is clean. Did I mention I have been driving straight trucks since I was 14? Driving a combination truck since 17 or 18(u can look up agriculture regulations on that, its legal) but it don't count as OTR experience without a CDL. So no flipping burgers for me.line and HEADBANGRR Thank this. -

You will need to be able to sleep at any time for however long you need to day or night without pills. Sitting up all day will hurt you when your time to drive comes around again to go.
He should have taught you jacobs braking by now in the mountains, if you are able to come down them in a timely manner and keep your brakes cold you will be in a very good position should something happen and you have need of the braking.
You seem to be on your way to doing well Keep in Mind Arkansas is now a 75 mph state, but until the new signs go up (Never...) it will have to stay 70. And 65 on rural two lane roads too. (Which is kind of fast on some of them, particularly coming out of curves)
Nothing like Winter to teach you wyoming. And in doubles to boot. Awesome. Learn everything and anything you can during this time.McUzi Thanks this. -
