A friend of mine became a OTR driver after a one month school that cost him $5k---Yeouch!
He first went to Stevens transport, for real Cheep---like $8/hour or something. Then he went to JB hunt and was there for over a year then he went to a company in Port Huron Mich. and was making $50k per year After starting out at $8/hour at Stevens transport. My buddy hated it......he was away from home all the time, he didnt see his wife for weeks at a time, he has no kids.
My friend told me this---If you are a beginner driver and you have a wreck your career will be hampered greatly of being a driver. My friend said he got to almost all of the USA, except Alaska. He drove to N. Carolina a lot, West Va., In the Northeast and he drove and made pickups and deliveried to many Gm and Ford Plants in the Midwest He drove to Chicago a lot from Michigan. (fro JB hunt mostly) Good luck, be careful and according to my buddy--always have a set of clothes to wear (extra) and always have Lysol disenfectant to spray on those public toilets. I have never been a driver by the way.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
