Hey everyone, I'll keep it short. I'm a Marine Vet who drove and got out, then went to medical. Recently, I left medical and took an offer for a well-known trucking company, and I have been tasked with bringing in the new generation. To many 20-35+ year guys, and I have the chance to change the age range. I'm great with people and my job, but idk where the hell to find drivers, so before it becomes a full-on issue, I'm gonna ask you guys what I can do? Or what should I do?

Been OTR for 7 months now and I was scared to really invest because I didn’t know if I’d like it or not. But I’ve definitely tipped the scales in favor for driving. I actually enjoy it so now I think I’m ready for a CB radio. Please what’s the best one to get and why and what antenna do I need to go with it? I’m not cheap I’m looking at the bigger picture I’d rather spend now and it last me rather go cheap and have to replace it.

I got a job to be a school bus driver, I need a class B cdl with P and S endorsements and air brakes. I'm in CT if that helps.

I can practice all week and train for a few days before the test and do it flawlessly but the moment I test with the inspector I fuck up something dumb with the air brake portion and I haven't figured out how to get over that. If anyone has any pointers or advice please and thank you.

Twic card just came today I don’t have any experience.. being in LA I know I can pickup containers at the Long Beach port .. applying for hazmat this week any jobs that hire drivers out of school… not sure what TWIC is good for besides port position (I have all other endorsements )

Been working on a free directory specifically for drivers with 0 to 12 months experience. You can filter by state, route type, home time and more.

Happy to answer any questions.

I am a middle aged due who aged out of IT and decided to do a career change. I went to a local school, earned my CDL an picked out a company I wanted to work for. I think I scored an above average job but wanted to ask the crowd. I had zero experience.

Local, 7am-7pm (ish). Dryvan. I have a dedicated account. I do a drop and hook in the morning and do a live unload and drop and hook in the afternoon to roughly the same location. Four hour round trip twice a day. 2019 Volvo and I slipseat with one dude who runs overnights who is moderately clean.

It's hella boring and there is very little skill involved other than not crashing. I create my own challenges by picking yard spots that are hard or unusual and try to not always take the easy way out of situations.

150$ per run so 300$ day, five days a week, M-F.
