Hi folks:
I"m starting my CDL training on the 17th of this month and may seek employment right after school if I can"t find things to do in my normal areas of expertise. I"ve wanted my CDL since I was a teenager - and decided now is the time to do it since I don"t have a solid "Plan B" in the event my "Plan A" job no longer has enough work for me to keep employed.
OTR driving would be a big adjustment being away from home - but you gotta do what you gotta do to keep the woman and the water and the lights and the phone turned on. (or however that song goes...)
I understand that the starting pay until I get at least 12 months of OTR experience under my belt will be relatively low.
Would any of you do anything different - if so, what would you change about how you approached your professional driving career?
For my first gig - should I work for a BIG company or a smaller one? Are there any tangible benefits for working for either type?
I"d like to avoid some of the obvious pitfalls and companies with bad reputations out there. Thanks for your input!
