question for the mens club

I walked to school when I was 12, it was four miles, uphill both ways too, does that count?

 

In 2 feet of snow, and fighting off bears with a lose leaf notebook...

 

as long as its not FAMILY DOLLAR TREE GENERAL that doesn't sound like a bad gig

 

I'm confused- What does this have to do with a 'Mens club' xD?

 

If it is a hard salary without mileage ups and downs, I say take it. That way it does NOT matter if you had a 5000 mile week or a 200 mile week. You can focus on being good.

We dont have the road trains like those in Australia, Ive always advocated them.I hope that you do not get bored hauling one ordinary trailer back and forth for rest of your life.

In America people who are rookies have to survive 6 months with someone. Major Carriers essentially had trucking schools and turned over a collective half million trained students good and bad since the 80's until the early 90's They realized the top Carriers saw the student trained at great expense and that one goes to join someone else entirely. So they closed the schools. So that eliminated a source of drivers Nationwide and that fell to the few schools remaining.

Rookies literally have to survive without hitting anyone or doing preventable damage in trucking today. It is frightful to me to see people fired for minor stuff and then written up in DAC to where they are lost to the industry for years. (I was one of them believe it or not... took me three years running wild cat paving dump truck to get back on and half the stuff happened with that has already gone to the grave with the few people involved in it who passed on.)

You need to purchase a dash cam before you get into a American 18 wheeler. The traffic here will cut you with aggressiveness and so on essentially a predatory dare for you to hit them so they can sit home forever with millions in settlement. It's a scam of many.

America is not all bad. Just be careful out there.

 

Did you move here permanently or temporarily? Where are you based out of now?

 

Question: if you have to go to a mega like Schneider to get your foot in the door, what would be your5 year plan?
