Profile For Night Crawler

Welcome to the Forum Night Crawler. Congratulations on passing the permit exams. However you might want to slow down on the medical exam

...many companies will want you to go to their approved examiner or Doctors. No sense paying for it twice.

My suggestion is to also invest some time in reading the following links:

Becoming A Truck Driver: The Raw Truth About Truck Driving

Truck Driver's Career Guide

The Company-Sponsored Training Program link is a fairly comprehensive list of companies that will teach you how to drive a truck just enough to pass the CDL A tests and then road-train for 4-6 weeks depending on the company. There are however teaming companies within this link as well; like CRST. Read the fine print.

Use this link to discover additional details, and determine if a company is solo or all-team. Trucking Company Reviews

As you develop your short list, visit their individual websites for current, up-to-date information.

Good luck.

Finally got my DOT physical and was issued my commercial learners permit. I got and offer letter from Roehl and a class start date. I went out and bought a new duffel bag and now I am trying to figure out the most efficient way to pack it in terms of 4 to 6 weeks of class necessities, clothes and other odds and ends that could save me money eating, like a small can opener,ultra small electric glass top burner, 12 volt tea kettle, glass bowl w/lid , small pot and small skillet. I put my two weeks in at work so that I don't burn any bridges. I don't plan on ringing out in the first few weeks but I'm going to be nice to these guys since they have told me I can come back anytime if it doesn't work out. count down 11 days....super excited!!

Passed the gen knowledge, combination and air brakes today. the NC Dmv said my test scores are good for 90 days. but would not issue the permit until I had the DOT physical cared. I plan to get my physical this week. I walked into a clinic after the test and they said the cost for the physical would be 109.00. Now I just need to find a company to go with that doesnt team after the training is over. I want to be otr and solo in 8 to 10 weeks!
