I could have called this guy's manager the next day and got a job! In fact... I'm offered a new job almost every week I'm out there! Even before they know how long I've been driving, they get a feel for the fact that I CAN drive, and WILL work!
I guess I was just giving the poster an idea to harbor for awhile, of what might be possible after just a short time OTR. But let me be clear....
ALL newbies MUST pay dues! Get experience and learn to be a trucker. Be loyal to your first company until you just can't rationalize it any more. Then, make the change to the best company you've learned about in the 9 months to a year that it will take you to "find yourself" in trucking.
After speaking with this driver from Combined Transport, I know there are better jobs out there for me. I'm just being real patient about choosing the right one, instead of "jumping" at the first offer.
