Get your CDL then start with CFI. Call me!

 

I should hurry up and get my CDL by Summer right since fall and winter are pretty dead trucking wise?

 

There's a transportation job fair July,30 on Watson Rd. and the ad says "NO driving experience NO PROBLEM!" but do they really mean it? Cuz I don't got jack!:shock:

 

They really truely mean it. Of course..there is a price to pay, for learning a new trade.

But YOU have to be willing to "learn" that trade, be willing to be influenced by "Winners", and not be influenced by "Winers" .

 

...nor be influenced by whiners as well. :wink: 8)

 

Or by Winos!! :wink:

 

Whats the "price to pay"?

 

Typically, when you are learning on another Person's dime, your not going to be givien the "Choicest" assignments..maybe some will do so at first..but that quickly goes away.

If you are influenced by the "Winners", you will see a quick progression through which every Company's system, to the point where you are making decent money.

On the other hand, if you are influenced by the "Winers", you will eventually become disgusted with the entire proccess, and call it a game.

No doubt, you have read in these threads numerous examples of how "tough" the trucking life can be. The thing to remember is, every job is what the "Individual" makes of it.

I drove my first truck in 1973, while growing up on a ranch in Montana. I started driving truck professionally in 1979. While I have had "ups" and "downs", I can in all honesty tell you that I enjoy my "Job". I have made some pretty decent money over the years. I have also made some pretty bad money...in just the last couple years.

Now..I can say, I am back to making decent money, even though I have the headaches associated with owning my own truck. (right now it is in the shop with ECM problems)

If you choose to drive truck for a living...don't make it the "Choice of last resort". When this becomes a profession which you didn't really want to do, it becomes a job you really won't enjoy doing.

Learn the trade, do it well...and you will eventually have some of that "Jack". :wink:

 

Oh yeah man I know I gotta pay my dues and don't be bitchy.

How did you go from all this driving for years to bad pay? Shouldn't it rise as you driver LONGER?

Whats a good starting pay?
