Hurry back for a bit mang!

 

No biggy. I had a good laugh the day after. Currently in Arizona. Got 3 drops tomorrow in California, then its back east to Dallas to get my truck assignment and routed back to Florida.

 

thats awesome... you get to see much scenery? take a cam with you?

 

Dude -looking forward to seeing your sexy mexy can again. We shall consume mass quantities of brewed alcohol when you return!

 

Qustions for you guys with big truck experience.

1) How hard is it to handle a Renegade ? Do you need a Class A License to drive one?

2) What is it like in the mountains and hills? When we were towing our race car up to Bristol, some of those mountains were scary coming down! Good thing for the trailer brakes and dropping it into lower gears using as much engine braking as possible.

Whats it like for you guys starting out, and then as you get more experience how is it ?

 

Not sure what a renegade is.
Pretty sure you need a cdl class a for any vehicle with a gvwr over 26,000 lbs.
And at least a class b for anything with air brakes.

Hmmm, mountains can be fun, or scary as hell, depends on if you slowed down and got in the right gear b4 you srarted down the grade

Driving abilities aside, its a whole different lifestyle. Its like working 24x7 for 5 weeks with breaks to sleep and eat, followed by a mini vacation. Also people treat you like a transient.

Just because you can drive a truck doesn't mean you can be a truck driver. Its not for everyone, and if its not for you don't make yourself miserable doing it.

The money can be very nice, in my second year I am making 800 to 1000 b4 taxes a week.
