With the exception of 5 years in the Marine Corps, I've been doing this for 21 years. I'm so desperately hoping I can save the $$ to go to school to get my CDL-A and then change my career.....and hopefully negotiate my way into a good deal.

i drive for transport america. i have only been driving for 13 months and all with tcam. they have a good safety record, their pay is above average for beginners. after a year i make $.355/cpm. i usually average 3000 miles a week. i get home every time i ask, tho i like to stay out for 2-3 months at a time. their training was great. it really helped when i went out on my own and had to back into places that i swear no way could a truck get into. all in all a good company.

That's why I'll stick with runnin' LTL freight. I mostly just bump docks and move pallets around with a pallet jack if I have to. Let the towmotor and the supertruckers lump the heavy freight! Every now and then I'll get a residential delivery which can be a pain in the rear. But for the most part I don't fingerprint any loads.
