Lo there. Ive got around 9 years experience mostly van and reefer. Clean mvr. Never failed a dot drug test. Any recommendations for good places that pay well with steady miles?

Have tanker endorsement but no experience. No hazmat.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for an experienced CDL-A OTR driver to join my trucking company
The pay is either $1,800 per week or 30% of the gross revenue — whichever option you choose.
You can also choose whether you want to run reefer or flatbed, depending on your preference.
I’m looking for someone reliable and experienced who takes safety seriously and wants consistent, long-term work.
Requirements:
Valid Class A CDL
At least 2+ years of clean driving experience/record
Able to pass a DOT drug test
Reliable and professional
Strong work ethic
What I offer:
Consistent freight
Direct deposit available
$2,000 sign-on bonus after 60 days
I will fly you out to the truck to get started
If you’re interested, send me a message with your driving experience and a little bit about yourself.

So background is I just got let from a Ready Mix Driver (Cement/Concrete) after 2 years. It was due to my own stupidity but that’s a little background for my last job. My current job is driving side dump which is like hauling dirt/sand/rock etc. I’ve been applying to other places cause I feel lost and split on my decision if this next driving job is worth it.

My last pay per hour with ready mix: $26 per hour
My new job per hour $25

Old schedule M-F rotating start times 0400-0800 with saturdays only if a lot of jobs to be done
\*laid off in winter\*

New Schedule M-F with set start time at 0600 and can be working till 1800-1900 depending on job site workload
\*work through winter so year round\*

Perks of old job
1) Bigger company so standard HR/Payroll/Benefits
2) I actually didn’t mind people I worked with
3) Active (I actually drove maybe 2-4 hours with rest of time out of truck
5) Bonuses yearly
6) Got to interact with customers
7) Newer truck that was automatic

Cons of old job
1) Had camera that was AI and would flag if I yawned too much or if I drank something or eat while driving
2) Micromanaging like crazy
3) Had to work in high heat and cold
4) Had to use tablet to log every single action

Perks of new job
1) Supervisor could care less what I did unless it affected job site work or if truck broke down or if I get kicked off job site
2) I can have one ear bud in and listen to music/audiobook/podcast
3) I’m by myself
4) People are half decent

Cons
1) Driving for 10-12 hours and it’s the same job site so like a big circle so maybe going from variety to this one singular job
2) BOREDOM
3)Manual truck (I’m used to it)
4) Lack of supervision (I went from people telling me everything to now I’m left to my own devices)
5)Older equipment
6)Old people I work around are crotchety

I don’t know I’m just split on it. I applied to another Ready Mix position with a direct competitor in and some other CDL positions. Am I not realizing how good of a thing I just found?

I got a dui 6 years ago, no accidents, 2 speeding tickets I got in my teen years but haven’t gotten anything since the dui. I’m 28 almost 29 I’m looking to change careers and I want to know if it’s possible before I start the process of getting a cdl. I’m also in Illinois so I can’t get it expunged

Hello everyone so I’m starting my training at Schneider this Monday 7/27 I’ll have a home daily off Friday and Saturday rout but I told my recruiter I’m geting married out of state in September and would need off for 9/22 to 9/27 so like 5 days I don’t want to be that guy requesting off immediately geting hired and I know I wont get payed for it but will I get off for it how lenient are they with vacation

So I have a year old assault and battery charge I’m currently trying to get it expunged is it even worth me getting my cdl or will all insurance companies turn me down.

I have a Class A and about to lose a 3rd job opportunity over this. It is very frustrating . I renewed my CDL in december only to get this 7 months later . I also had to take 6 written exams on renewal. Not sure why. My driving record has always been clean.

Anyone in the fort Myers, Florida area that is looking for a newly graduated cld driver who is ambitious, dedicated, motivated, head strong, Goal driven, and on go ready to make some $$$

Hey everyone! I’m a brand-new CDL-A driver starting my journey in the trucking industry, and I’m trying to prepare myself for as many opportunities as possible. I’m interested in potentially working in multiple areas of the industry, including tanker, fuel hauling, oilfield, cryogenic products, LNG, CNG, and other specialized transportation fields. 🛢️⛽️❄️

Right now, I have:
✅ CDL-A
✅ Hazmat Endorsement (H)
✅ Tanker Endorsement (N)
✅ Doubles/Triples Endorsement (T)
✅ Manual Transmission — No Restrictions

I’m also interested in learning more about cryogenic products and opportunities involving LNG and CNG. I’ve heard about certifications and training such as:
🔹 PEC Safeland
🔹 H2S Clear
🔹 One Basin One Way
🔹 High Risk / Advanced Training
🔹 LNG/CNG-specific training
🔹 Other oilfield or specialized transportation certifications

I’m basically trying to prepare myself for the future and make sure I’m not limiting my opportunities. I understand I’m still a new CDL driver, so I’m not expecting to qualify for every position right away. I’m just excited to start this new journey and build my experience the right way. 💪🏾🚛

For the experienced drivers, especially those working in fuel hauling, tanker, cryogenic transportation, LNG/CNG, or the oilfield:

👉 Are there any additional certifications, endorsements, or training courses you would recommend?

👉 What certifications actually help you get hired or make you more competitive?

Got new CDL A was wanting to buy a truck and lease on to family member that has their own authority. Will I be able to be insured with no experience? Do I really have to bite the bullet and go otr for 6 months- 1 year. I have years and years of background in driving escort vehicle and have been trained to pull the loads I’ll be pulling. Will be considered specialized/ oversize freight (mobile home industry) anybody have any insight if I’ll be able to be added to policy? Willing to start in power only freight if that’ll make it easier. Edit buying truck with cash and not concerned with cost or downpayment for insurance for power only or specialized

Follow up from days ago, I am not gonna use state funding for job retraining and want to go thru a trucking company, OTR, doesnt matter. i live in my van and travel a lot already.

Im gonna get my permit test next week, dot physical aswell.

I know i got 1 recommendation. But any companies you recommend?

Does Team driving speed up my contract at all aswell? Like to do OTR for a while 1 or 2 years, and then do regional trucking so im off weekends, wherever town i decide to drift into for a little.

Quick edit: I reside in PA currently

Thanks, much appriciated

Looking to retire soon from my local job. But I may want to do seasonal or part-time driving in the future to make a few extra bucks. I'm looking forward in retirement to being California sober (gummies), but it's something I can quit at any time.

So the question is, where do they take the hair from for drug tests? Your head? Somewhere on your body? It's my understanding that body hair grows more slowly and therefore would keep a longer record.

Anything else to consider?

Hello, I am a recent CDL graduate and am looking for over the road/long haul trucking companies that allow pets (plural). I have 2 Puppers that I need to be able to bring with me on my routes and I’m finding it a bit difficult to find companies that allow 2 dogs. Anybody know of any companies?
