Route to experience

1 ) I have seen it done, but most of them you would not want to learn from.
2 ) Good chance the experience would not be recognized by other carriers / or insurance company. Hard to verify.
3 ) Might not be question of $$,usually insurance companies just will not allow it.

Look into state college sponsored night courses. Florida has good reputation for these classes. just not sure about your area.


good luck.

 

Look for a CDL training program with weekend or night classes as jbatmick suggested.
After graduation you might find an 0/0 that has a couple of trucks leased onto an intermodal/drayage company that will work you on weekends. You will need a TWIC card for that type of work in most cases, to enter seaports.

 

Mr. You are smart enough to find this place. Drive a truck around. You can get a demo ride from any truck dealer.

 

Knowing your the Boss of 40 Tons has a serious affect on people. I would not have it any other way. My Zip code changes like the hands on a clock.

 

Son this is Trucking, I am sitting in my home. It has a red & a Yellow knob. If you don't like where you are, leave.

 

Well, it might not be a great job, but there are always driving jobs. Maybe not requiring a Class A license, but jobs are there.

Trucking ain't easy to figure out. You might not like it at your age, if you are retiring.

 

Ah, that probably scared him off. It's a young mans game. Them chains weigh tons. My Doctor told me not to do anything he would not do. I asked him if he would drive in snow. He said no. I never listen to my Doctor. I am not a negative person. This is not easy.

 

Get your cdl. Farmers always need help during harvest. Construction companies always need pt dump truck drivers. Just do it and figure it out.
