Welcome and good luck

I lived on my truck 6 yrs and banked the $. Be sure to get a hotel room once in awhile or you will get burned out.

Good luck!

In another thread, I posted how I avoided an accident. But in this video, I discuss various accidents I witnessed over 10 years in trucking.

Brett mentioned in my other thread the importance of having a CB. That was indeed a video I did and some of that footage is included.

Crazy Winter Scenarios Every Rookie Should See

Tru Western Express

It doesn’t matter how many there about 3-5 years old . Again I’m 22 years old of course I showed irresponsibility I was still in high school . That’s the past . Yes I want to drive a tractor trailer & I will someday . So don’t come on her with the smart remarks . I’m just looking for help not to be judge !

1. It obviously does matter which is why you cannot find a job.

2. My company went back to a 1978 ticket for one of my students. For various reasons.

3. Sweetie.... you haven't seen any smart remarks. Though tempted that I may be... I understand that you do not know what you do not know. For example.. you dont know how important our records are. High school.or not. You still couldn't provide a number of occurences. An employer will ask you. They will have the answers and they will test you to find out if you are a liar or just reckless and oblivious to your actions. I have spent the better part of a decade helping, training and mentoring new drivers and received several awards doing it. I have no problem with people judging me on my record. Get used to it. Cause a career in trucking will be just that. A competition between drivers, and a reputation built on your past actions.

4. You need to understand that you are competing with literally thousands of drivers with absolutely clean records in every way. The only way for companies to judge you is through your past. And yes, they will judge you. It is called a job onboarding process.

Stay safe. Don't get anymore tickets. Dont be flippant with recruiters. Admit to being wrong. Take responsibikity rather than downplaying the infractions.

Trucking is serious enough that we cannot even take a Benadryl for allergies or Nyquil when we get sick. We are held to higher standards. Hold yourself to them.

Good luck. Again apply everywhere.

Today i drove through a storm from the gulf into florida. I am ready for sunshine again 😁

"Mostly" driving without a license. How many? And 2 no insurance.

You showed serious lack of judgement and irresponsibility and now want to drive a tractor trailer. You are going to have problems finding a solution. Agreed apply everywhere

Here's a crazy video from my company dashcam of how i ran over a guard rail

Tractor Trailer Accident Avoided

I went from Nebraska yesterday morning and I am jiust south of atlanta now. Man.. i can't believe there is snow on the ground in atlanta... the roads are all clear. I saw ice in st louis... the truck stops in Illinois were crazy icy. I have a video of Fedex getting stuck in the TA. Fuel pumps were frozen at Road Ranger and that lot was horrible. Other than that... all went well for me.

Now we gotta worry about the fires in Cali!

Glad you are all safe. There were so many wrecks!
