honestly, i dont think it has anything to do with the STEREOTYPICAL view of sagging (aka black people). Ive been driving for 1 year and a half and its mainly fat out of shape white guys that be walkin around with their buttcracks showing.Tomorrow's lesson will probably more in depth tips and tricks how not to look like a thug in the semi and use of the n word over the CB..
. That maybe what their talking bout. They never mentioned that when i went through training

bout an hour. I do different body parts every day. Arms one day, chest the next. stomach crunches the next, jumprope the next, etc The main thing tho is eating right. Remember most of your day is SITTING, so you wont be working off what you eat. Try to get in a habit of not eating too late in the day and when you Do eat, try to have something healthy and not too heavy. Stay off the sodas and junk food.
i was thinking bout that when i was younger but after working at a car dealership delivering cars back and forth through the tri-state i got tired of driving real fast and them highway miles was killing after awhile thats a reason i don't like driving now are you doing in-state or out of state driving?

Also ima tell you this: TRY TO START YOUR DAY AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE EVERYDAY. Do this so you can end your day early. The later you shutdown, the harder it is to find parking spaces at truckstops. Truckstops start filling up fast around 5. I got my first ticket cuz i had to park on the side of the road after not being able to find a space at a truckstop.
You went to trucking company school (C.R. England, Swift) or just a truck driving school?

Can you set your own hours?
About 5am?
And whats the average miles you do per day?
My moms ex/business partner said 3000 miles a week aint nothin and should be easy to do
That seems like a lot to me
Im comfortable just drving to where I could take a short break every 2 hours. Then a hour break after the 4th hour.

Do most trucks come with tv hookups?
As long as I can game in my down time I'll be straight
You're out in Texas so finish your contract and get into the oilfield, I'm going tomorrow to get my Tanker/Hazmat endorsement. I've been in contact with Stevens Trans. just to hear their pitch but I'm definitely coming out that way real soon.

uhhh, kind of. Its called "setting your next available time for a load". For example, if you know that you're delivering a load at 3pm and you're gonna be low on hours after delivery, you can let your dispatcher know not to put another load on you till the next morning.
as far as starting and ending your day when you want. yea most of the time you will. Thats what i love about it. Sometimes you may have SPECIFIC TIMES that you have to be somewhere but most of the time you'll have a window like between 8am-12pm to deliver.
