Wish Me Luck
well, I haven't been on the Planet as much as I used to. It's been a busy month. I attended a Truck Driving school over the course of the past month and finished the school last Friday. After 15 years in telecom, I have had enough. Tired of the constant layoffs/project-based work....and actually grew to hate the actual work when it was there.

I have my Class A CDL test tomorrow morning at the DMV. I feel pretty confident. Others in my class who were at the same skill level as myself all passed their tests Monday and today. They all said that basically the 'tests' we were given at the school, were much more stringent than the DMV test - essentially, if you did well on the tests at school, you should have no problem at the DMV.

I've got a few pre-hire letters with companies; 2 of which will have me home every weekend. Another will have me home 3 days for 11 days out. My goal is to treat this upcoming year as an extension of my school/training, and try to get at least 12 months experience then start scouting 'local' jobs here in KC with a more predictable schedule, and hopefully decent hourly pay.

You cant count on a damn thing in that business no matter how hard you work at it... you going over the road or staying local with a day driver job?

And yes, the state test here is tough as well, 5 months later and I STILL hate the 45 degree backup, would rather be lucky than good on test day with that.
You're not getting a local job without some OTR experience. Seriously. I looked.

Yeah, I definitely don't want to do the road thing for the next 5 years etc. I'm going to treat this year as experience and try to get something that's local at a decent hourly wage; or something out of the intermodal near me; or Fed Ex Freight about 12 miles from me.

just got a pre-hire / finished an interview with a company on a dedicated account. M-F (starting Monday mornings, not Sunday afternoons etc) home Friday afternoons. Customer doesn't accept deliveries on weekends. I would park my truck at their warehouse, which is about 2 miles from my house. 400 mile radius of KC.

I 'think' that would be manageable for a year. What do you think?

shit, I nearly got hit on 3 occasions simply during my 'road week' at school last week.

it's truly incredible how people can't see a big ass truck, or CAN see it but want to whip in front of it assuming the 80,000 truck can stop on a dime.

Stick it out for a year or so OTR then find something local. I was looking for local work in Florida, then life decided to take a giant shit on me.
