Your Opinion and Advice please (kind of long)

go with the cdl A more oppurtunitys especialy with the hazmat

 

Tony,

Good luck. You will pass the test next month and remember, failing happens to the best of us.

Them dang curbs; they jump out, hit a guy's wheel an then sit there looking all innocent. I think they're in cahoots with the examiner folks.... notice how cheerful the guy was about "see ya next month"?

Thing about a big city like NY is that it's full of trucking jobs that are not necessarily OTR. The amount of freight that moves around within the city is staggering so Local Pickup/Delivery is always busy. Likewise things like garbage hauling, document shredding outfits,etc. Heck, the city has hundreds of trucks in it's employ. OTR is not always the only or best answer.

 

Congratulations! Since you'll most likely have more than one trucking job in your career it's good to carry doubles/triples, hazmat and tanker. You never know what good job is around the corner and companies like endorsement holders. They are all simple test with a little study.

 

Hey Tony Congrats~~ on getting your A! Hubby got his last fall and is now working for one of the bigger companies (not any of the ''bad'' ones per what i have read but big enough) Best advise ask lots of questions to eveyone!! You will make many mistakes but consider them learning experiences and remember them experienced drivers they really know their stuff and have good stores to tell.

 

Congratulations, Tony! Hey, you wanna take my next 5 boroughs load? I'll page ya from PA, you can come get it, deliver it, and bring the trailer back to me, right? Hahaha, just kidding!
