Question 1) I've done my research. Looks like I get conflicting answers. Is it worth it to go into Canada or do you lose in the long run? (Looking to drive straight truck or van -solo - driving for owner). I have no criminal so crossing border not a problem itself.
Question 2) I'm going to get my D.O.T. physical out of the way with my own doctor since I know company doctor is just going to send me back to mine anyway (heart murmur - I have passed in past -I am healthy). Seems like there are two forms short/long form, which do I use? If my doctor doesnt have one where do I get a copy of form?
Oh yeah third question. I will be starting in April - maybe March but April more realistic (need to take care of some things especially since I plan to stay out except for holidays and other occasional rare stops at home). Do I start regestering now with the companies on my short list (from my research on this site) or is it too early where I'll just get lost in the shuffle. I don't want to wait to close too the time and end up waiting around way past april for a truck. Looking for straight truck (may consider van) solo, hazmat endorsement, CDL A, can cross border (depending on answer to my question at top of post) clean driving record. Thanks for any advice and help.
