Well i pounded the roads for a lot of years I learned how to drive from and old timer now i am the OLD TIMER . Now this is my take on this what i see coming out of these schools for drivers is a joke . better then half of them should never be allowed behind the wheel of anything bigger the a 1/2 ton pickup and for some that is to big. As for the jobs well yea you can get a JOB , but if you like seeing your family more then once every six to eight weeks or longer then son that is not the place for you . Most of the jobs are in the dry freight van work and you become a robot to the dispatcher and he does not care where he dumps you while they try and find a load for ya so ya may luck out and get to spend the weekend at a truck stop or ya might get to enjoy a Wal Marts parking lot for three or four days even though there maybe a truck stop 15-20 miles up the road ya set where they tell ya to set. I have pulled coal bucket local and over the road pulled van , flat stepdeck and lowboy (RGN) Plum hate dry freight and steel . Enjoyed hauling bulk specialized in a dump and loved hauling the big ugly wide and heavy stuff on the RGN's . First off when ya went someplace to load they were waiting to load ya they were happy that you were there to load what ever you were picking up and when ya got to the other end the were waiting and ready to unload ya . When pulling the dump over the road it was almost as good but there were times that ya had to get ugly and say what do you mean you are not going to unload me and just how would you like this in one nice neat pile or do you want me to spread it out your drive 6-8 inches deep???? But really The only ones making out is the driving school . Before ya jump in find and older driver that has his own rig and see if ya can just ride with him for a week at your expense to see if this is the way ya want to go. IF a week has not taught ya then go for two . Set and learn and if your heart is in it then see if that OLD Driver will teach ya . You and get all the reading mat. from your local DMV.
