RDTC starting school January 28th

I'm in the same class with the guys above. I wasn't interested in the flatbed because 1) I'm too lazy 2) it gets cold 3) wet 4) or hot out there! Also Van is a place to start. Reefer would be great once I get the rest of this figured out, but I'll wait six months before piling more on top of the steep learning curve we're on.

 

You'll get the award for finding girls on the side streets in Marshfield, getting the trainer to stop for coffee or cigarettes and having the best HAT in class!

 

i believe we are required to have 3-6 months of otr before we can ask for reefer division.

 

To the OSU...Get your daily routine established with van. With refer not only do you have all the truck stuff but you also have to learn about refrigerated freight and the unit itself. Also figure out if your body can handle 2am deliveries, sit in a dock for 4-5 hours then find a washout so you can pick up that 8 am load. Lots of drivers like running refer. Pays more but you put up with more. Good luck

 

Yep...sticking with the van for now but will consider and review options next year. Got a passport card for Canada and will get hazmat when back in Ohio...anything else?

 

quick question, for the hotels that you guys are staying in, is it one person per room? Or are you guys sharing rooms?

 

I would reconsider getting a hazmat endorsement. I am actually going to take mine off when I renew my license here in a couple of months.
