My experience with a trainer running as a team was good. I found it nice to have the cab to myself while. Once I upgraded, I went with another account-specific trainer that is in the passenger seat a lot more. All the comments over every little thing I do that he doesn’t agree with gets under my skin. Their small talk can be distracting, then you make a mistake and they call you out. Or they reach across your view to use the air horn. My first trainer understood that and stayed in the sleeper most of the time, exception to city driving, truck stops and terminal parking.
so many starter companies

I have talked with drivers and ex-drivers.
I am of the understanding that tankers have historically been hard to get into a job with no experience in tankers.
IS IT STILL LIKE THAT?
If I go tankers out of the gate, they can never take that away from me. -
Just got my shiny new cdl last week.
still trying to decide on a company to roll with.
I will let ya'll know when I sign on with one.
Thanks again for all the adviceTruckermania and WesternPlains Thank this. -
I would probably go tanker. Shippers and receivers have been hands down better to deal with than van freight.
DeepSouthRollin Thanks this. -
too bad you're not in nor cal ... we have like 3 tanker companies right now hiring FRESH out of school, home every night starting at around 14-1800 a week plus full benefits. I'll be going over to one of them in about 6 months only because i'm happy/satisfied with where i'm currently at & need to lose about 20 pounds haha & that will happen pretty quick with the hard work lol (convenience store delivering). Tanker is definitely where the easy & quite often very good money is at though imo, & if i were you i'd try to START with a tanker company
DeepSouthRollin Thanks this.
