My trucking journey

Good luck and best wishes.

 

Depends on how long you stay out. I’m only gone 5 days a week so dealbreaker for me. At least parked at the yard no worries about theft or some arse hat knocking the front end off.

 

At this point -- of MUCH BIGGER CONCERN for you -- besides the question in post #194 above: in 6-9 months from now -- will this carrier over in Dade City still have enough loads for even rookies like you to consistently pull ?

You need to find a carrier who will properly train you....and ALSO keep you for-sure busy for AT LEAST ONE YEAR (so you can stay there).

To your above query: I drove home weekly from Atlanta intermodal for OVER A YEAR. My commute to/from was a little over 3 1/2 hours--one way. I did that because I knew...the longer I kept that job--the better I would look to future employers, later....

Definite deal breaker for me, I hate the thought of commuting especially if you’re headed south out of Dade city, 2.5 hours can turn to five real quick, ask me how I know? I turn fort Myers back to jax on a regular and it has become absolutely unbearable. Just move to Dade city?

 

It baffles me how many think an hour plus each way commute it "normal" to some of these office people.
