Welcome to E.O. someone will be along shortly to help with your questions, most of your questions can be searched in some older post but just about everyone here is pretty helpful. I think you need a C endorsement but a B with air brakes and a Haz-mat would be the better option.

Look in the free classifieds here at EO there are always people looking for someone to team up with.

Look at this web site www.trucksforsale.com. They post alot of pic's of the interior.

I did my road test in Mi and I was also concerned about the pre-trip but I called the school and for $50 bucks the instructor walked me threw the pre-trip. Just remember you dont have to grab the parts you just have to be able to I.D. the part and what you are looking for. The most important...

I am not real sure but with the four door cab and a 96 inch sleeper you may be over length with a 24 foot box. That will leave you to be a C UNIT with no chance for the D loads. And by saying that I have read alot on here that you should atleast be set up as a D unit just for the load offers...

Hey jizface I just wanted to know what makes it not so good. I had gotten the idea from them at the Expo that they just concentrate on the upper Mid-West. But I would like to hear more on your dealings with them so far. Are they just a cut-throat carrier. Best of luck and thanks in advance.

I hope this helps a little. When I was looking to get my cdl I talked to a few of the bigger companys and all of them reqiure you to stay with their company for a set amount of time. If you choose to leave before you honor that time you will get a GREAT BIG BILL to repay them for your schooling...

The best advice is to read over all the past post on this subject (you will be here a while). You will also find out that just about everyone will tell you to drive for someone else (a fleet owner). That way you will not have that big truck payment. Look at the classifieds here at EO and call...

I have seen this question here before and the people that can answer it have to know a little bit more, like what is your location how long do you want to stay out on the road. Just from reading the past post most teams like to stay out 3 to 4 weeks then take 3 or 4 days off. Now the part about...

Hey Rich I had asked about the husband and wife that ran that truck sometime ago to see if they were doing O.K. I had read that there were some kind of back injuries and that they were not sure if they would ever drive over the road again, do you or anyone with-in EO have a idea. Thank you

The way trucks option out it is hard to give a good ballpark. Try looking at truckpaper.com they have prices for new and used. I was just at Alumi-bunk and they are listing the prices on the window now, I saw prices from the high 70s to the low 90s. Just depends how much you have to spend, or...

I think that Con-Way now is in Ann Arbor off of State street.

Hey Chaz sorry to hear about your future, I am in the same boat this year. I just went back to work after a 2 week lay off and a very uncertian summer. This is a great web site to ask questions as you can see with the other reply. In all my readings this is a hard nut to crack at first and from...

I might not be able to help much but from what I have read here in the past is, Look in the classifieds and try driving for a owner of a small fleet( that way if it does not suit your hometime you wont be out the money for the van). Most of the good guys to ask weave teceal whiterabbit geo have...

Hey Weave please dont take me wrong I was not being sarcastic about Louixo's post. I find it to be very informative, I look forward to reading post like this. I will be the first to say I look forward to how informative post from you mcbride, teacel, witerabbit and others are. You people are...

WOW I have been doing a lot of dreaming about getting into the business and have done almost all the things you have said above. I just wish this was something I could have read last year. Thank you for a post, that is that full of information from a drivers standpoint. There is no better...

Dont go back to lurking I enjoy reading all of your posts. I also waited along time befor I posted a message. No harm in your reply it would not be as informative or useful as a tool if everyone posted looking for jobs. :D

Whats the concern for upgrading to a B or A. I am a self taught B license holder that just upgraded to the A. I am just waiting to take road test. I will be the first to tell you If I can do it I am sure you can without fail. This A road test does not scare me in the least but the pre-trip...

hey Mcbride your correct it is wrong to use the fourms to post for job opps, But thats why I am a newbie, but I also understand what you mean they have a classified section. I am so new to wanting to get in to the business I was just posting to gain knowledge. Jason.

Thanks Weave,
