Not much time and only one shot at this. Please help.

You will also encounter driver-facing cameras there.

@ducnut will verify....

That's an exceptionally good looking dog.

Do you know the breed? Looks JUST like a puppy this woman I dated for a couple months had adopted. He appeared to be some combination of doberman/rottweiler/lab; was such a cool little guy, named him Rudy.

She had some pretty serious mental health stuff going on so that situation fizzled pretty quickly. Candidly, I missed the dog a lot more than I missed her.

 

You can put a sock/cover over the camera -- when you're in off duty/sleeper status.

It's not an all the time/around the clock thing.

I've had driver facing cam for a couple of years now. More and more companies are going to them. No issues and cover it up when Im done driving.

 

Several other companies to choose from. I won't push you toward any particular company. Check the others also. Most companies allow you to take the truck home.

 

That pic is Dee Dee when she was still a baby. She is a pure bred Australian Kelpie (registered in Australia) This is her now with the purple collar. The one with the blue collar is King, he is also a pure bred Australian Kelpie. I got him to bred with her. The other picture is the 3 stooges when King was still a baby. Dee Dee is in the middle. The older one is Natalie. She is a Kelpie mix (with probably a ####er spaniel Im guessing - she was a rescue).



And this was my first Kelpie L.T.

 

Well, Natalie is mommas dog and she doesnt really like the truck. Dee Dee thinks the truck is hers and only lets me drive it (she actually did "drive" it once - I broke down and the tow truck driver wouldnt let her in his truck so she had to stay in ours - and now thinks she can drive it anytime). King thinks Dee Dee is his owner and where she goes he goes. When she eats he eats.

 

Another entry-level job opportunity that you should at least be aware of:

Swift Transportation -- OTR dry van driver -- Georgia

This above option offers these advantages:

• You have the potential to gain experience with multiple types of freight -- within the same carrier (other employers will REALLY like that)
• You will very likely be able to take the rig home with you, for hometime
• No driver-facing cameras
• Stay with that fleet long enough -- & you will see pretty much all of the lower 48
• Dry van, drop-n-hook freight is arguably the easiest/best way to get into/start class "A" driving
• Carrier is self-insured; thus, if you make a mistake that yields real damages -- you are far less likely to be fired
• Many terminals & dropyards nationwide (vs other carriers) -- for potential safe, legal, truck-friendly parking
• Very large freight volumes -- thus, you are not likely to sit much (if any) waiting for loads
• And still others....

NOTE: No, I do not work/drive for Swift -- & never have -- nor do I know of anyone else who does....
