Profile For Patrick M.

Good afternoon gentleman, and ladies! I am 25 and have about 6 years of driving experience but I recently started a new company and I now am not simply just delivering food to restaurants in Philadelphia I'm Venturing into North Jersey and also New York and I have a question about the requirements for the reflective tape. I drive a '05 hino 17,000 straight truck no cdl or endorsements but I keep having this same (in my opinion) uneducated township officer break my stones everyday and reflectors and reflective tape and how much I should have etcc. Now with me only driving a straight truck and what are the requirements for how much reflective I need to use and where does it need to be out. I tried reading the official rules multiple times and I cannot decider it and we recently just got a new "transportation manager" who doesn't quite know any rules at all. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided, I'm tired of dealing with this township officer!!

Want to say thanks in advance this is my first time posting on here, but I've been really thinking about this lately. I am a 25 y/o male from Philadelphia and have been driving 14-26 ft straight jobs for the past 6 years for a few different food and parcel companies but I'm still not making the money that I know I could be if I had my cdl. The company I am at now has mostly straight jobs but there is a guy who drives a trailer and said I could drive with him if I studied and received my permit and than eventually take my driving test I was just wondering which route would you guys suggest, I mean I guess if I had to go to smith and Solomon AAA school of trucking etc I guess I could save the money or finance it but I think if the gentleman I work with now is willing to train me a little which is the best option for me and I was also wondering how hard is the permit test and are there any sites material that could help me better than sitting there and reading the cdl manual over and over! Thanks again for your help it's much appreciated!
