Dallas on our own yard.

Yeah, I know, a bit of click bait....I don't do it that often, but once in a while......

Sorry to hear,....there are plenty of jobs using automatic only, as most larger and even many smaller carriers only use autos. You definitely won't have a problem finding jobs with an auto restriction, but it is possible a "dream job" scenario pops up someday, and you wouldn't be able to take it......you can always go back and learn, although, like anything in life "I can do it later" often never happens.....lol

@@fpstrucking right that was my thought when going for the no restrictions. And the “do it later” part hahaha

Yeah, definitely not an easy decision. If you KNEW the school would give you 2 more testings, I would say take it standard one more time, as by then, you for sure would have all the rest down pat. Then if not, passing on an automatic would be simple.

Yes, you can make more money, I do, and I definitely do not train. It is definitely more work though, as you are your own boss. The responsibility of the truck repair falls on the contractor, so that weights differently on everyone. Say your first week out, a tire goes bad on your tractor....5-800 dollars.....that effects everyone differently....in the long run you will make it up, but if you planned on having XYZ on your check, it will be less now. They will let you pay say, 100 a week for 7 weeks (however much it costs), so you might not be out the entire money on one check if you don't want too, but mentally that effects everyone differently. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

In my opinion, run 3 months out of Grad first. You are still getting a handle on the job, 3 months post-grad, you will have more consistent checks to compare to as well.

​@fpstrucking what are you averaging a week? You need to be averaging like 2200 per week for it to be more money after taxes and incidentals like tires in my opinion

Yes, first load for a solo driver always takes them home

Yes, first load always takes a driver home for hometime!

We have many company drivers making 70k+ a year. Everyone's taxes are different, so not sure on that......

​@fpstrucking ok well I was hoping for 1k+ a week after taxes. Congrats on views for this vid.

We hire from all 48 states (except California). We do training either at our home terminal in Dallas, or with a number of training CDL schools around the nation. If you give Charles Wages a call, he can better direct you. Seven13 2onethree 27four1

@@fpstrucking so they pay for your school ?? And they pay u as you go to school?

They front the schooling, as many driving companies do, as a 1 yr contract deal. You don't get paid during the 3 weeks of CDL schooling, but the OTR training that starts right after graduation is paid $700 a week i believe, and 1k guarantee per week, once you get your own truck and go solo.

Yes! 3 years this month and loving it!

Hahaha.......I figured....lol

Baited!!! Lol.....

@@fpstrucking Ya got me 😵

Yeah, just a bit of click bait.....I don't do much of it, but figured of any time, this was the one.....lol

Must have left/dropped my license somewhere. Either that, or I will eventually find it hidden somewhere

I D K.........have to wait and see...😁😁😁

Congratulations!!! Definitely look forward to meeting you out in the road!

I believe closer to 7,000 yeah.

Awesome!!! Great job!

The way to be confident, is to occasionally go so far overboard, as to loose all semblance of "proper". Then nothing is embarrassing after that.

@@fpstrucking gotcha, cringe = freedom from social norms 😂 👌 👏

Yep! Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can't hurt a weirdoooo!!!

@@fpstrucking yea well that’s always been my motto👍😂

Yeah, I'm out and gone from there before that ....lol

@@fpstrucking 😁👍

Thanks! Me too

Thanks! I plan to...I definitely feel better as well

😊👍

Mrs Money bags 💰 over there.......lol......yeah, I'll bet they are. Kinda wish mine was, but need the workout anyways.

@@fpstrucking accidental bags for sure. But... I hope to do good stuff like sponsor and donate ultralight stuff 🌈

To whom much is given, much is required....

@@fpstrucking truer words have never been spoken brother

Audio record YOURSELF going through the pretrip, and then play it back to yourself, 24/7. Leave pauses between each part/description so you can "beat " your own voice to the next part/description. And then just repetition

Same with airbrake test You don't need to practice pulling knows etc....once you have the order that memorized, when you think/say I chock my tires, you know to get out and do that, you don't need to practice that in your head.

@@fpstrucking cool, thanks for the heads up, will do exactly that bro 😎

I did that, had hoped to get the whole truck, and then aced it. Good luck! Definitely let me know how it works!

@@fpstrucking will do brother

God moves in mysterious ways, where he leads, .....well......let's just say I prefer fish I'm my belly to the reverse....

@@fpstrucking Indeed! Many lessons for all of us in the book of Jonah. God Bless You, Papa Smurf!

Thanks. Race day is fast approaching

@@fpstrucking Sure is! You got this!💪🤩

Thanks. One way or another, it will be a lifetime personal record for me.

@@fpstrucking That’s a win in itself right there, Brother. Happy for you!🏆💪✝️🙌

Miss you bud!

Yes. Definitely. Appreciate it.

thanks! I need to spend more time playing the guitar. i enjoy it, just dont make the time...lol

Thanks!

50 gal for most truck stops, and if you go over a certain gallons for the month, you get unlimited showers. Stevens Transport has a deal with Pilot Truckstops that after only one 50 gal fill-up we get unlimited showers all month. Otherwise showers are usually between 12-18 dollars

@@fpstrucking sweet 😎. I’ll be heading to Steven’s after 3 weeks of schooling in Tennessee

Heck yeah! Hopefully we will cross paths out here.

I appreciate it. I alternate between running/jogging and fast walking. I am running a Back Yard Ultra in November, 4 miles each lap, 1 lap each hour untill you can't any more.....my walking speed is currently like 3.8 max, so I have to run a bit, to keep the laps under the 1 hr limit.

Heck yeah! Where at?

@@fpstrucking Tennessee Truck Driving School, Powell

Are used to follow this guy, but he doesn’t answer any questions

What's the question?

@@Berwickr81he’s been quite thorough with mine, no issues. I’m getting packed up as we speak now, yall have a great day!!!

Lol.....I do love to eat...hahaha
