Anyone know if there is an O/O who would be willing to train.

Starting out in trucking seems like it sucks to be a noob. I've read so many forums, posts, books and almost all of it comes down to if you have a criminal record and or a driving violation your kind of SOL.

But then there are some people whom have both and make it. I have both and it seems like a daunting task. It seems easier to get my own authority off rip then making an attempt at a company driver.

Before anyone says anything about that i would like to note my Dad had his own authority and I used to ride with him years ago. Loved every second of it, the freedom, seeing the country,not being stuck at this restaurant day in day out that I currently am a GM at.

I would love to get advice from my Dad for him to show me the ropes of how he succeeded in this industry but im a little to late for that now. So my question is this, if I get my CDL are there O/O who would be willing to put me in their drivers seat for a month or two and teach me everything there is about the industry.

I wouldn't ask for pay as I would drive for free. Just looking at anyway possible to start my own business.

Thanks in advance for the help and support.
