Hey Guys and gals
I have a class b drivers license and have a good job but frustrating. In my state, I make a great hourly wage but my job is legislated by the weather. I have had a lot of weeks off from Dec till now due to the weather. I love driving my tandem truck but I am starting to think about getting into a job that is more weather proof. I have a friend that is trying to get me into a Conway, OD, etc type job. I would work the dock and then get into their driving school. They will allow me to work my present job 6 days a week, then work for them on Sunday until I can get into their driving school. What else is out there for a class b driver or should I hope and pray to get on with one of these outfits and get my class A? I think many will say the latter, lol. Would love to talk and get y'alls great advice. But remember, I am blessed and love my job. Just want stability. Thank u friends
Tandem:
Tandem Axles
A set of axles spaced close together, legally defined as more than 40 and less than 96 inches apart by the USDOT. Drivers tend to refer to the tandem axles on their trailer as just "tandems". You might hear a driver say, "I'm 400 pounds overweight on my tandems", referring to his trailer tandems, not his tractor tandems. Tractor tandems are generally just referred to as "drives" which is short for "drive axles".
