bumpa Thanks this. -
I have 3 friends that got their CDL & didn't want OTR. All fresh grads from CDL school. One walked in a grocery warehouse and was hired delivering to grocery stores & one walked into a boat manufacturing plant & was hired delivering those outboard motor fishing boats all over the country & the other got a tanker job hauling dry bulk cement to local cement companies. These aren't what we think of as traditional trucking jobs; so get creative in your job search.
None of these companies were running ads for drivers; sometimes just walk in and ask.Last edited: Dec 21, 2012

Oh, yeah.. if you can run a skid or a hoe (back or track), the lift should be nothing to you. The mounting and dismounting might take a couple turns to get down, but other than not, there isn't much to it.

If you run a steer tire into someone's lawn in order to maneuver around some obstacle, its going to leave a depression in the ground. And you can bet your bottom dollar that home owner will witness you doing it and will take note of the name on the door and start making angry phone calls. If you have to pull up 27 times in order to avoid running a tire over the edge of someone's lawn, then pull up 27 times. Leave no trace that you were ever there because it only takes one angry home owner to get you fired.bumpa and Cranky Yankee Thank this. -
Use your head, if you don't think it's a good idea than DON"T DO IT! The customer just wants his stuff and will burn you in a heartbeat for any damage.Cranky Yankee and bumpa Thank this. -
