Profile For Joe C.

Hi all, Been a little while since I posted, been busy in school. Finally passed getting my cdl, yay😁, got an offer to attend orientation with TMC next week. I can't wait it's equally scary and awesome, but I think it's gonna be great. If any one has any pointers or advice on this next phase of my career I'd love to hear it, thanks in advance. Also thanks again for Brett and this site, really helped getting ready to go OTR and get through school and testing. You guys are awesome👍

Just want to thank everyone again for the replies and advice. Got through the first week of school, got my permit, and hit the yard. First time ever in a rig, and it was fun! Really enjoying the adventure so far, I'll keep everyone updated. So far only concern i have is the 90 back. For some reason i struggled with that one, the other 2 no real problem, any tips would be appreciated. Everyone have a Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the replies, I will be doing my best to take it all to heart. One of the things I like about this site is everyone's willingness to help those of us new to the industry. I really appreciate the advice, thanks so much!

Hi all, I have been on the site for while, reading, studying high road, and just taking everything in while considering trucking as a career. I'm 43 years old, good driving record and this will be my second career(hopefully the last). My wife actually suggested trucking and after being in retail for 15+ years I was ready for something new. So, I am heading to a local school this week, and would appreciate any and all tips and advice everyone has for getting my cdl and doing well in this industry. It's a bit overwhelming but I want to be successful, so any and all advice is welcome, thanks in advance. Love the site by the way, very helpful with the study guides and high road training!
