Starting out at 22 years old

The " Contract Option" is worse than you can imagine. Find yourself an outfit that has drivers and dock workers. Many of those will help you transition from dock worker to driver.

 

I know that flatbed companies wont hire you but some recruiters said for their companies you have to be 21 in order for them to hire

 

It does that...but you are obligated to them for the specified time period...No matter if you like them or not..you leave early..... you foot the bill. Now going the cc route "you" are in charge of where and WHO you try to work for....it just gives you many , many more options than going the company school route. You will meet with the recruiters from a few places , and be able to decide for yourself what "you" want do do. Just my take on it. Good Luck to you in your new career...Happy Trails...

 

www.johnsonharvesting.com Is looking for younger drivers looking to gain experience in the industry, you have to have a cdl first though, If I get a job with them(I Applied) I won't end up starting until may(after I pass road test)

 

The contract is the main reason i went to e real Truck school,i want to choose who to work for.

 

Firstly you need to evaluate yourself and see what you're trying to accomplish in life. Will trucking help you reach your goals? What about trucking gives you an uneasy feeling? Are you responsible for anyone other than yourself? Please don't just enter this industry blindly and hope for the best. Be prepared before you make the jump into this industry or any industry for that matter.

 

Words of wisdom right there I tell ya.
