They love to rip people like yourself apart for posting that information but believe me there are tons of people who want to do exactly what you are doing. I think your doing the right thing going out and practicing. You are also learning from your mistakes and that is very valuable knowledge. You can read about stuff but surviving a close call will be burned into your mind forever. Your racking up experience. ;;; Could you please give me heads up on getting this authority Getting your authority is a piece of cake. Your real problem will be getting liability and cargo insurance. If you can get that, your all set. My liability cost me $4,200 and my cargo is $1,100. I don't really deal with any certain brokers but use the internettruckstop and only deal with brokers who are approved by DS factoring company. Get ready.....They will be on you non stop on the forum now. Why, I don't know. Good luck".

I'm not even considered a "newbie' yet, i'm still in the research mode. But what your post shows me is what NOT to do to get into trucking. If that is the route YOU want to take, so be it. Not me brother. I will read and take the sound advice of the experianced and professional drivers here, and start in this business, ethically and safely. But if you want to take the risk and try to do it on your own, I wish you all the luck, and pray that you don't kill yourself or someone else in the process.

hummm.. Like to say right off I don't have a class A only a B, and would never take the track you are. But I have owned and ran a few business. I would never start one with out being a complete expert in that field, to do so is a recipe for finical disaster. To start a business with so much safety liability is not only risking finical disaster but personal freedom, yours and those on the road with you. If this is true I do not applaud you, I am appalled :evil: . I only hope than when you screw up and you will only you are hurt....Teal

I can relate to the first part of this post. I am currently working in the 2nd or 3rd largest bank in the world doing IT, money's great, but they treat empoyees like crap. Been doing this for 10+ years but as I'm relocating to NC soon am looking to truck for a living. The rest I can't relate to because I have no experience.
