Renting a 10 speed tractor(no trailer) to practice.

Not everyone starts with their dream job, or even a good job. My first job (still working it) is a great first job, but the pay is crap. I have a sleeper to myself, home 2-3 days a week, same run, every week, with only a few extra stops here and there.

The downside is that I work part time on my home time to make enough to be comfortable.

 

I pretty much live where ever the truck is. Thermal is where one of our farms are, and where the truck is needed most, but, no one knows where Thermal is.

 

I know guys that all they drove were automatics for school and their tests, doesn't do much Good IMO.

 

Most of the time, for commercial rental, you provide the insurance. You don't have it, they don't rent to you. The security deposit is high.

 

Bobtailing without a trailer, shifting is different, just like driving with mt trailer is different from loaded.

 

Maybe he worked for a beverage distributor or something of that sort. Read the criteria for a Class A, and you'll see it's an EXTREMELY broad category.

 

Sam:

I don't use ticket services. I use my own judgement. If I do something that deserves a ticket, there might be a good chance I earned it.

I find that a good attitude and a little honesty go a long way to getting a second chance with some officers though.
