Trucking Jobs
If you have decided that you are ready for the road, find trucking jobs with trucking companies that drivers give you positive feedback on. Remember no trucking company will be perfect. If all the drivers you talk to only have negative things to say....that's telling you something.
Some trucking companies get it and some don't. You want a trucking job at a company that see's the driver as a person, not a robot or part of the truck. For new drivers, that is a little harder.
Once you get that year of experience. You have more options. Make sure you keep your license, safety record and work history in as best order as possible. Run legal and stay alert!
