Profile For Justin P.

Thanks for the helpful hints!I haven't been completely focused on only one company.I made a list of about five or six different companies,and based on what I'm looking for,which is otr cross-country,Prime is on the top of my list right now.I've been reading posts on here from you and other drivers looking at other companies as well.I'm really interested in driving reefer,because I love the idea of the longer hauls.I'm about halfway through the High Road Program,and am working getting my cdl permit.That way when the time comes,I will be well prepared thanks to you and everyone else on this awesome site!I'm shooting for the end of this year sometime,that way the wedding will be over and I will be able to focus solely on my future career.

Hi everyone!First and foremost,I just want to say thank you to Brett for making such an amazing site,and also to everyone else here for being so friendly and informative!I have been visiting this site everyday for a little over a month now reading like crazy,and recently started the High Road Training Program

I have so many questions about the industry!I am 24,engaged,and both my fiance and I believe this lifestyle would fit us perfectly!We have been together for over 5 years now,and live in a very small one bedroom apartment.We love being alone,and are always going on road trips.Most of the time we don't even have a destination.I LOVE driving!My dad and grandpa were both truckers for years.It's always something I've wanted to do,and I'm finally ready to take action. I have already picked out a few companies that seem to suit me perfectly (Prime is my number 1),and have put countless hours into reading every article imaginable I could find on them.So a couple questions I was hoping someone could help me out with.First let me explain my situation. My fiance are getting married on October 31st of this year.I'm not sure if I should start applying to companies now,or wait until after our wedding.If it was up to me I would love to start tomorrow!I just don't want to apply and get a call,and then not be home in time for the wedding.The companies I intend on applying for all have company-sponsored training (thank you Brett for that article) as I just can't afford to pay for the schooling on my own right now.As I said earlier I would love to start as soon as possible,but I'm wondering if I would have enough time to go through all the training in time,and maybe they would let me have a couple days off for the wedding? Also does anyone know if Prime allows riders?My fiance would love to ride with me,and like I said,we're used to being in closed quarters,either in the car or in our tiny apartment.So neither of us are worried about getting under each others skin too much.We are both introverts to an extent,don't have any kids or family,and nothing really to come home for.We are happiest when we're out on the road.We have both thought long and hard about this,and I have done a lot of soul-searching,and we both believe this is what's best for us. I know I don't have any kind of experience at all,but I'm sure attitude is everything.And I have a great attitude about it!I'm excited and optimistic!I know that it's going to be a long and sometimes very hard road,and I know sometimes I might want to throw in the towel,but I understand that just comes with the learning.I'm very hopeful that everything will work out and I will get an opportunity,because I really believe that years from now I will look back and be glad I made this decision.
