Profile For Fred L.

I think I'm going for a cdl b license. going thru schools buses, they say the license is free. i'll like to try to drive a straight truck.

I mean, being without a boss in my ear for the full 12 hrs in great. I'm aware that I still will have a boss. sounds like a better way to go, with bus or straight truck thingy huh?

Fred has dreams:

I want to be a truck driver for financial freedom. not having a boss in my ear, nagging all the time. more money, also, I wouldn't mind driving to one state, then being able to home, type of routes

You might obtain your financial freedom of you stick with it. But you will have a boss.

How do you keep from being boss-nagged? Drive your dispatches. Don't waste time. Trucking is performance based, not per-hour, and you need to be the self starter to get it done. That will make your boss happy.

Maybe cdl b may be an option? you have a chose of bus or truck driver. ive read that they pay you to obtain an cdl-b license? is that true? then, maybe, I can have home time, without going otr 6 or 7 days?

Straight truck is a good local, home daily job. Paid by the hour. My brother drives a school bus and likes it. A tour bus driver told me he earns $100/day, gets the same hotels his guests have, As well as tips and spiffs from where he stops the bus.

Up to you.

Wow, even though they have you doing a 48 state thingy. you didn't have to go to far from home. did you have to stay on the road for weeks at a time? so, you got your cdl through Swift company? I would hate to leave my family, if one have to stay out on the road for 3 or 4 weeks at a time.

Man, I guess truck driving is harder than I thought. okay, maybe I can get regional routes instead of going to the 48 states? yes, I did get nervous, more like scared. looking at places like pam, they make it sound so easy to get an cdl and then land the job right away. they didn't tell me the behind the stuff. wow, I'm sick of my job now, grrrrr

Otr? dang, you know a school called great lakes trucking school, say after completing the course to get an cdl license. they showed places looking recent grads to get the position. having a trainer after gradutain, I was reading where you have to live with the trainer in the truck, if I was to go for over the road. no way around that huh?

how do you avoid going to a company sponsored school, without going over the road after completing and getting your cdl license? trying to get my cdl and local routes after completing? any schools in ohio?
