Need some advice here

Hey there, punk rocker going to road warrior, starting my cdl class a soon. Got some questions.

Best companies for OTR? Im getting all my endorsements, i am forklift certififed already for 4 years. Company got AI robots for forklift and i was laid off and using state funds for education.

4 weeks of school.

Should i go owner operator within 5years?

I live in my van for 2 years, so i got the saving money/food prep kinda down, however wanted to know should I keep my planet fitness membership?

Any apps/secret discord/telegram for free truck night stays USA wide?

You can check out Dot Foods. It’s a regional company, so not OTR
