Got my Class A CDL Ya'll!!!!! Yes!! - Official Truckers Thread

[Whore D'oeuvres]

I heard it’s no bread in Florida in trucking, well at least grabbing a load leaving out of FL…

The drivers from FL get all of it. I heard it's not that bad if you're with a good company or you have connections

Your boy just got his CDL-A permit

You better not be out here with an automatic restriction

Breh these Mickey Mouse third party ass companies everyday I’m like WHOOOO?? I didn’t know it was that simple to launch a whole ass company until like a week ago.

Oversaturated beyond belief now

RGN?
And I agree. Specialized freight is where the money is at

I personally am not trying to do over sized loads must don’t want that wear and tear on my truck

I have 450k miles now. Breakdowns is the last thing I want I can not STAND truck mechanics and dealership shops…

Specialized is fine you just have to have the right truck set up for it.. make sure got that Cat engine and 18sp..

Car hauling might be the way to go.. never a shortage in that arena

Just want to add—- please just be haz qualified. I know I keep saying that through this thread… it’s one of the hugest issue to move freight and find out the haz loaded in the nose gotta be backstripped and now I gotta go piss off dock sups

Can't think of many tanker companies doing O/O outside of Ewell

SHHHHHHIIIDDDDTTT OVTL needs em.

Let me ask you because I have my standard class A with a air brake, passenger, school endorsement… If I get a haz endorsement can I do power only where it’s just a drop and hook? I ain’t trying to hook up no fuel lines and shyt… this is literally part time for me I have a day job but trucking is hobby for me.. if I can make more bread on the side then it’s a win regardless..

See you going above my head now— as far as I know the OVTL & other all 3rd party drivers are drop and hook. We don’t allow contract drivers on the dock. We load the equipment and the drivers grab it and go. only hang up is we don’t do live unloads— you finna wait if you trying to get ur equipment back quick. In most cases when it’s power only the load should be ready by the time u arrive. In other cases freight might it be slow so we gotta scrape as much as we can to fill the equipment all the way. Ready time might be 1400 and it won’t be ready and full til like 2300.

I feel horrible when it be that way
