  • U cant feed a family of 40k ni way could u fund an rp at even 50k

  • @dannyjsarah We talk to a lot of drivers every day who manage a comfortable lifestyle for their family. Go to our Facebook page to talk to these drivers directly if you're interested.

  • How hard is it to find a trucking job? Is it harder getting a job at a young age? I'm currently in school and will have my 2 year degree finished in april. I've been around truckers most of my life and have started to do research about this career. Looking for any advice you guys can give me. I don't wanna waste money if its going to be impossible to find a job.

  • @HammerDown328 We're placing new drivers with our carriers every day, both younger and older. The drivers we place must be at least 22 years old. Our program pre-qualifies you with the carrier before you ever go to school and get your CDL, so you don't risk losing anything. Check out some of our other videos to see more about how our program works, or go to our website and apply to talk to a Driver Agent more in depth.

  • I never went to a driving school, it just amzes me that schools are only three weeks long. The government regulates everything else, why wouldn't they regulate the training of this?

  • @MIKEL0352 Actually, the length of training is regulated by individual states and sometimes individual trucking schools if the states choose not to do so.The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulates the distribution of CDLs.

  • 1:15 (Till i told her what kinda money lol)

  • @HammerDown328 With a clean MVR and clean criminal record getting a job really isn't a big deal as long as you are in a companies hiring area. Down side is a lot of companies these days don't want to pay drivers what they are worth. My first year I made $28K. Going on 4 years now and my last job being local I made somewhere in the ballpark of $40-45K. But bc of job and pay cuts and companies not willing to pay what we are worth you might hit around $35K if the miles are there with experiance.

  • @theprankster5000 Actually, the companies we recruit for are OTR (over the road), which isn't as many days out on the road at a time. With our companies, you can earn up to $42,000 the first year, and if you stick with them after that, you have the potential to make over $50,000 the second or third year. There's more information about pay on our website above.

  • @cdltraining Thanks a lot and will do. Great vids on here.

  • @MIKEL0352 you just become eligible to drive after 3 weeks then training starts.

  • @TheSteveo4423 look again he is wearing his seat belt
