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.
company

yea i usually start my days no later than 6 and shutdown around 4. Depending on where im at. For example, if im an hour away from a major city then i may head out like 4 or 5 so i can get through that city before rush hour.

your miles will vary. if you have to get loaded/unloaded and they take forever to load you, then you might not be able to get as many miles before your time runs out. Of course traffic is always a factor. But a GOOD day you can run 500+ miles. The most ive ever did was 613

No saggin pants



I dont believe in saggin in the "workplace" to begin with but it was funny to me.

Not only was in the rule that we repeated out of the 40+, but at the end of this list, the teacher told us get out our pens and write this down "NO SAGGIN PANTS"!
Just the whole hour how they really stressed that rule, out of the billion of other things.
Claim that they're trying to "change the image" that people have of truck drivers since their not good

Well the rule must have so kinda of story/history behind it for why its was emphasized so much... Good for them

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.

They paying a lot for that?

Can someone with a felony become a truck driver?

 

[PhonZhi]

Do most trucks come with tv hookups?
As long as I can game in my down time I'll be straight

yea, you can hook tv's up in most the trucks. I think Swift has actual tv's in alot of their trucks.

If you wanna game you can. Ive met guys with game systems in their trucks.

They paying a lot for that?

Hell yeah, most companies start at 50k

I know a guy who did 2 years driving water tankers and fractured sands turned around bought his own Pete and now as a owner-op grosses $20k a month after he puts some away for his truck fund.

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.

Word, sodas is bad for you and I've been soda free for six years. Good advice and tell him that goin Vegan helps too

I can't see myself driving a big ass semi-truck but this shyt is interesting nonetheless.

 

[SirReginald]

Can someone with a felony become a truck driver?

Yes

 

[Sauce Dab]

If you're going to be a truck driver then you won't have time to make 14 threads a day anymore

 

[MWinn]

Yes

Would the person actually have a chance of getting hired after the class is over? I know some licensure schools will put people through knowing they won't get hired on with any companies afterward.
