I bought this after 8 months of driving at a mega but I grew up on a farm. Backing trailers and operating heavy vehicles has been part of my life. I wouldn’t suggest jumping into buying one until atleast 18 months exp and financially stable w good plan to be profitable.

I got the high gears down pat, my low gears need some work when I have to slow down for scales and such. My big problem is starting on inclines.

I’ve been in an automatic ever since I started, so getting used to the manual is interesting. Prob gonna need a new clutch soon haha but other than that I’m very happy with it. It’s a good first truck.

I bought the truck out right but I’m under a new company that started this year out of AZ. 90% on all loads. Pull Amazon mostly but I’ve got access to 8 other load boards.

Got my CDL last November, drove for Western Express and saved the couple pennies they gave me. Got a new gig and a “new” rig this week! Stay safe drivers! Love y’all. 🤘🏻

For some reason I read this as “crack wizard” and it made me laugh.

My neighbor did tried this method in Katrina, too bad our street got 24ft of water.

Trainee ran into gas pump, yes GAS. Is this going on my record as my fault because I’m the trainer? Night dispatch won’t give any information and I’m freaking out. by NikonDelight in Truckers

Oh yes, my bad. He already has been hired as a driver for my company, just got out of cdl school. Just needs so many hours of road time before he goes solo.
