At one time I was recruiting for Praxair....a local tanker job that paid 65K to 85K per year.
They were very picky and only wanted flawless drivers.
So the book would go like this.
Work hard for 2 years in OTR.
Never get a ticket
Never get a dwi ever
Never get a felony
Never get ever a misdemeaner charge. If you had a hot check charge 15 years ago for a 5 buck hamburger, they will still turn you down.
Never have any unemployment. Even if you were unemployed 2 years ago for 3 weeks, they will still turn you down.

Needless to say it was a hard job to hire for. However, I did find quite a few drivers that qualified.

 

..sorry I went too far, and had to self-moderate.

 

Now that was too funny! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

"I read the ebook, "The Truth about Trucking". Common sense stuff and a waste of money. Drive OTR for a big outfit for 1 year and then go local by working in the food delivery service arena. That was pretty much the gist of it."

Is that what he said? I mean, is that his "secret"?

The "65k-95k" book IS self-published, which means he paid someone to print a bunch of copies for him, which means no self-respecting publisher would touch it because they didn't see a market for it. Self-published stuff is poorly-written, unedited junk. The "publisher" makes his money off the author, not from book sales.

Still, if someone gets a useful tip out of it, that's okay. But $25 for a PDF file? I agree that that's steep.

 

I wanted my money back and that lost hour of my life that I spent reading it. If it were free, and you were reading it on the crapper...then it might be ok.

 

Ouch! :shock: That's one I won't be buying.

 

It actually worked out well since I ran out of toilet paper and had the book there.

 

do they still hold those same standards? if so, in about 10 more months, i'll qualify for that company.

You can always 'print' a PDF ebook *IF* the publisher didn't decativate 'the print' feature to read it at your convenience.

I bought a PDF ebook with print feature DEACTIVATED and practically forgot about it. Too hard/inconvenient to read on monitor.

I don't trust publishers such as this when they don't provide a forum for open discussion and collaboration.

Gee.... that'e as truethful as:

Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. *But for good people to do evil things, -that takes religion.

Knowing me I'll probable end up buying it ops:
