Ride-a-long For A Potential Trucker??
Topic 27965 | Page 1
Hi again! I am still looking for a female driver who will let me ride along for a bit in the summer to see if driving is a career for me? I live in California and love to travel, so would be willing to meet you somewhere if my location is inconvenient. Thanks!
Hello, my wife is also in a job search and she thinks about the option of cargo transportation. We are now actively looking for a job for her. If there is something interesting, I can write to you later.

It depends on companies rules. I can take family but not friends and no one with a CDL. Many companies have rules like that.
You might post your request in the General Forum. I very seldom come into this forum. I'm sitting at a Walmart DC getting unloaded and a bit bored, read all the General posts and decided to come in here. One of the other ladies that post in the General Forum might have ideas.

How long are you wanting to ride along? When are you thinking about coming out and getting your cdl?

Hi! I'm considering a career in trucking in a couple of years when my kids leave the house. I am wondering if it would be possible to connect with a woman trucker and do a ride-a-long for a week or so over the summer? I currently work in the education field and am off June-August. I'd like to see the job first hand to make sure I know what I would really be signing up for!
