Post below regarding everything encompassing truck driving, OTR, local, places hiring, bonuses, advice for new drivers, etc.
My current dilemma:
My girlfriend and I are getting close to pulling the trigger on CDL trucker school (160 hours) to begin applying to some companies and local companies for team driving. We both are set on it. She used to drive Pierce fire pumpers and freightliner rescue trucks. She’s tired of the dead people. I’m done with babysitting in county jails. 15 months - on the road - coast to coast. We will decide, after 15 months, if truck driving is for us.
Nitty gritty: some companies want to offer us trucks in return we hand over all of the goycoins. Should I buy a used but rebuilt rig or stick with a new Volvo or Freightliner Cascadia? I’m such a sucker for a Kenworth W900. Jake brakes are my weakness. I understand the job is sucky, but every job is and this job will put me at less of a risk of contracting HIV thanks to some idiotic low IQ retard. In any case, after 15 months, if things don’t pan out — we’ll both return to our professions... with some extra cash.
