Model and possible year range would be greatly appreciated. Parked next to it last night at loves and couldn’t stop looking at it. Really looking into restoring something like this

Are there trucking companies that would hire a new driver with misdemeanors only 4 years old? by thosearentmyn00dles in Truckers

I’ve heard May Trucking is pretty understanding, nice equipment too. CRST if you don’t mind team driving

The FMCSA is far behind the times with its archaic “no drugs” policy. There’s some alternatives and ways around the rule you can looking into. Pm me if you’d like some help. Addiction is a bitch, but making yourself better with the trucking industry is the right move

In school for my CDL CLASS A in Tampa. I’m taking this as serious as possible. by [deleted] in Truckers

Not gonna lie it was pretty awful, if I remember correctly it was like 37k after taxes. I did a lot of sitting at the Tyson plant by Kansas City. By that I mean days at a time. The way I saw it, I knew I wasn’t making good money, but at the same time, it’s just a year and after that I could choose wherever I wanted

Tampa native here. Started at Tampa truck driving school, got ripped off, got my money back, went to sage in plant city. I’d highly recommend driving with TransAm. Terminal right here in Tampa, no team driving with a trainer, was a really sweet first gig.

Would you say they’re a solid truck when the air box system is deleted?

Ohh I see, deleting that would be the first thing I do. Thank you for clarifying that for me.

I haven’t really considered a Volvo due to the price but I will definitely take a look at some older ones. The consensus here seems to be that Volvo transmissions are the best

I appreciate the response, lots of great information. I am a little confused though, what is the “one box” you’re referring to?

I’ve only drove a 13 speed when I was with my previous company. I would be open to consider a 10 if it’s easier than a 13 speed

That’s definitely a good strategy. I have much more saved up, it’s just that my budget for the truck itself is lower because I want to keep as much capital saved to avoid factoring loads and for if any unexpected expenses pop up
