I like driving, not exactly "see the road" type of guy who is driving from coast to coast for 8 months out of the year.
Been thinking of getting my CDL and getting into transporting with companies. Craigslist is FULL of jobs that require CDL. I figure i can get it and see if i can get my foot in the door.
To take the test at the DMV is only a couple $100 bucks, course and books on this shouldn't be much more then a total of $2000 investment.
Anyone here in the garage as working as CDL ? Word of advice or tips of the trade?
I'm not trying to be a owner/operator. Obviously that gives me more room and stuff but much rather have a contract with a company. Maybe make low $40-50k. I dont mind overnight jobs (currently working one) but as long as i can come home on some of the weekends.
