Nine Months In...

Thanks, Ryan.

Hi Sandman. It's doable. I'm not in any poaition to give anyone advice. But I will say that I believe patience, consistency, and adaptability have been key for me in accomplishing the goals I've set for myself.

Best wishes to you on your solo journey.

That's amazing to read Bill, congratulations! I'm in my second week solo and have a long ways to go as I try to get where you are.

You are a solid driver who obviously cares about doing things the right way. I would disagree that you are not in a position to give anyone advice. Caveat: We both lack sufficient experience to give advice for every circumstance. Where we do have applicable experience, our input can be of solid value to someone thinking of making a go of trucking or even someone just starting out trying to figure a situation out.

Thanks again, Brett. I put my best foot forward every day and try to make myself available for whatever they need from me.

Bill, you're killin' it! Excellent work! Earning your dispatcher's trust is huge. Those drivers who earn their trust are the ones who keep rolling and make those big paychecks.

I have found that this is a good approach for just about any job in any industry.
