    Yeah, initial training is the cdl school.
    The trucking company continues the training based on what freight they haul and company policy.
    You won't be turned loose with your own truck until you complete the company training.
    Hopefully you'll be hauling that reefer freight running coast-to-coast and border-to-border.
     
    Ryan0077 Thanks this.

    Sounds like y'all have had this talk a time or 2 lol. Reefer or dry van are my main 2 fleets so I don't really care which route it is. Just want either 1 and OTR.

    Coast to Coast and Border to Border is definitely the goal. The farther and longer I'm away from South Carolina the happier I'll be.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    You might not see the West Coast pulling dry van unless you run teams. Might with Paschall Truck Lines dry van, but don't bank on it to be often.

    May Trucking is a good starter reefer outfit with lots of coast-to-coast freight.

    They were one on my list to research. The thread you sent to me and attached on here was very helpful on making decisions

    Hey, if you can dance/move/rap like in that above video, at driver orientation....

    then you don't need no babysitting training. :p :D

    Everything (else) will just take care of itself -- NO PROBLEM. ;)

    You be "Rappin' Ryan"....
