Hi Ya'll
 

I have been reading these posts for awhile and decided to join. And I just want to say hi and thanks for having me on here. I am 28 wife and a four month old daughter. I am fixing to have to go back on the road for the money, of course. :roll: I got my wife's cousin into trucking he will be going out to get his CDL this Tuesday to Swift school. I already have mine so all I should do is go back out with a trainer for refresher. I tried to get him to go with someone else but he said nobody else would take him. Anyways, I am going to team with him because this is the only way I would go back OTR.

Good luck to the two of you. Maybe you guys can get a good dedicated run so you can get some good / regular hometime having a family and all.

ya'll
you gotta be from the south somewhere?

You got a problem with that, Yankee?! :P

I am from Arkansas. So Ya'll have a good day. And don't forget today is the first day of summer. Be careful out in the heat.

Silvan! You just called a guy using the name Carolina Reb a YANKEE!!

I wish all of u good luck Its tough out there.

oh yes, glorious snow.....feet of it would be great.
Good Luck on teaming

Dont like your daughter eh
 

You're a fool.

First: swift is a godawful company (nothing wrong w the drivers). Go to a company that at least gets you home weekends. There are some out there.

Second: bet you're gonna find out you dont like your codriver nearly as much as you think...

Third: you have a cdl. Does that mean you have experience and school? If not.. yes you will have to go back to school and then a trainer. Insurance my man.

Fourth: Is it worth it? To miss your daughter growing up? For "daddy" to be that guy who shows up once a week or three weeks or a month .. who mom makes her hug? Is it worth it losing your family???

I know that sounds obnoxious. But if you have any experience get on with a gas tanker company or cement or a dump. If you dont.. my friend the moneys not worth it. You'll need at least a year and probably 2 otr to get a good local job.. and theyre hard to find. You really want to miss your babies first two years? Nothing on earth is worth that my friend. And your daughter would agree. Money isnt everything. Good luck either way.
