10-4 The Truck Stops Here

BrutalDaddy · 05-27-2012, 07:14 PM

I know this is an old thread that's been dead for while but the profession of truck driving is new to me so I was super excited to find this thread.

Hopefully any others out there who drive will start posting again. Look forward to hearing from others if y'all are still out there!!

Looking Forward To Trucking,
AJ.

Hey AJ. I have been a truck driver for almost 3 years now. If there are any questions you have, feel free to email me!
Welcome to the truck driving family.

This thread caught my eye. I'm a toss back trucker. I maintain a commercial drivers license with a variety of endorsements. Class B, airbrake, Passenger endorsement, Haz Mat, Motorcycle.

I drove for many years with one of the most recognizable names in package delivery. LOCAL. The job was fun, but physically very hard. For years (and from time to time, even still) I've considered becoming an owner operator and finding a driving partner and doing freight expediting.
I'm constantly looking at Rigs as I have an idea what kind of truck I will need to do this in. Finding the driving partner is the hardest part. Freight expediting requires 24 hour driving and the rig I want has a small travel trailer as a sleeper.

I'm educated in other areas, but there is something about driving a rig that I totally am drawn to. The bigger the rig, the tougher the challenge, the more I am drawn to this occupation.

I'll keep looking. I feel when the time is right, it will find me.

Thanks Kerri! I very much look forward to driving across the country considering I've never ventured past the states surrounding Alabama. Lol.

Dominique, I hear ya. I honestly started this as a well to pay bills but in the course of training for this I have fallen head over heels in love with it. Femmsational wants to do this as well so eventually we're going to team drive but she wants me to get a few months under my belt then she'll come along. Hope you find the right partner and are able to live that dream of your's.

Love that there are truckers on this site and so looking forward to hearing from even more!

Okay spent almost 20 minutes trying to find a trucker icon. We need one! Lol.

Ready To Hit The Road,
AJ.

Just passed a three week course in NJ. Now waiting for the State exam for my class A. Took a new position at work and everything was company paid! I'm excited for this new position within my company.

Hey everybody. I have a questions about truckstops, so I thought what better place to go to ask, than here.

I'm wondering about sleeping at truck stops. I know you can't park overnight at rest areas. But if you have an RV and park where the cars park, can you park overnight at truckstops? I know the sleepers do it, just didn't know if they let regular cars do it.

Thanks for any input.
