<p>[QUOTE=&quot;x1Heavy, post: 8068107, member: 178676&quot;]Pay for and get your own CDL first. There are companies that borderline illegally and financially jeopardize you by indentured servitude to promissory note in debt to them by yourself. After you been fired in 2 months. And still owe 4000 dollars due and payable now. They will trash your credit etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Go to Yakima WA and examine all the companies pulling produce out of there. OR find a major operation such as McKesson, go to their shipping facility and eyeball the DOT/MC Numbers on the tractors coming and going for example. Talk to the drivers if possible. (A major operations, not some rinky dink chicken feed place)</p><p><br /></p><p>You can get the CDL in any state. It is your home residence that matters. You have to get that there in your home state. Community college learning is not that bad. We have a Arkansas State College here that has a fairly good trucking program. Ive managed to test a few of their students and found them to be very stable with a instructor that pays attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will never get fat driving for UPS. Hurry UP your are LATE. Not to mention all of US waiting on YOUR package.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some loads you have to do locally. It&#039;s all part of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might know about long hours. But you have not yet built a stamina for truly long WEEKS. THAT will come in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t wish anything except one. I should have run for a large operation like McKesson back at 21 years old. But considering the high dollar load of narcotics (Excess of a million) they would be reluctant to hire me. And all drop and hook. Anything with actual live loading or unloading is a parasite, liability and not worth your time. If you are 10 minutes late anywhere, they will kick you back out and tell you to stay out 5 days. Losing all of your pay for that week, if you are not also fired by angry company.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were so many things I did not know at 21 and was too stupid to know that. But one thing was clear. When I was 6 I was going to be a trucker. No ifs buts or maybes. Why? Because half my family thought deaf should not drive at all but sit home quietly staring at 4 walls. The day I got my class A (Prior to the CDL laws) some of the family got seriously angry that me, that little &amp;^%$ actually gets to drive a 18 wheeler. (It was a different time) So I lost my family and gained a life for myself, for better or worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
