You right. I had just had a truck service the week before and new brakes put on. The repair guy said that whoever put the brakes on didn't put them on right which caused the leak.
I definitely didn't do a correct pretrip to catch it tho. Was leaking pretty bad when he showed it to me.

Damn breh sorry to here that. Safe thing is stay with the same company, so you can ride out that year
I got fooled once and thought I had a leak but for some dumb ass reason whoever put my wheel back put oil on the lugs so it was oil all over my wheel.
Anyone know about starting a delivery service for straight trucks and or sprinters? I'm getting tired driving these big ass trucks but I still want to put my driving skills to use.

Its hard leaving thecoli but I gotta find a way...
Alright I'm give it an shot.
1. How much is the school cost? Estimate? I'm in Florida
2. I have sickle cell beta thalessmia meaning I can't lift shyt over maybe 25 pounds continously, I need something that will allow me to do that.
3. I know the class B ain't shyt money wise but I was thinking I can definitely drive a tour bus (Same size as a city bus). I can handle that since it's no lifting.
I just need the cost between a and b and a school.

2 easy ways to get a CDL A or B
1. Go to a big trucking company that will train you for your CDL A, and pay for tuition, but you have to honor a year contract to work for them
2. Go to a school bus company or a coach bus company, and they'll train you to get your CDL B
For me personally. For your situation and health concern, I would try to get the CDL A. The big trucks have more jobs where it's No touch freight and only drop and hook. Like 70 to 80 percent of CDL B jobs are labor intensive. The only non labor CDL B jobs is school bus or greyhound/coach bus jobs
I love seeing brehs come up...

Any of y'all brother on the east coast looking to make some paper and have clean cdl apply to these companies:

Any concrete PUMPING truck companies, not concrete trucks but pump trucks
Any boom truck companies

Most of these are union companies or pay higher wages cause they work in the utility sector. You will make 70K minimum and be home every night.
