What's the name of the company? Reputation is everything in this business.

If it's 25 minutes away I wouldn't leave until 6:30 since that would have me there by 7. That way it will limit the time lost from your 14 hour clock but will make sure that you arrive with plenty of time incase there is an issue. You only have 3 hours extra before you start getting into your...

My advice would be to stay with a TT. At 6 months in you are still at a point where it's very frustrating. You are at a point in life where you should be pursuing money to build yourself up and then worry about taking the easy gig later. This is coming from a TT driver so I'm not trying to keep...

To get a job with any reasonable company you will need to go to a school. Most if not all legit companies won't hire you with training from some guy off of the street because it is a massive liability.

You will be fine either way but I would go in on I78. The roads can knock a kidney loose in the NYC area so watch for potholes.
