In this video I start my truck driving career. It's something I have wanted to do since I was a kid! I was blessed with the opportunity to get my CDL for free and I took full advantage of it. Here is Episode 1 of my journey!

Awwww ❤ thanks babe! God bless!!!
Got my cdl 15 years ago. Getting ready to finally get into this.
This was oddly satisfying bc I would have hit all them blocks at JP trying to back down that narrow road. So happy to see you doing something that you have always dreamed of doing!!! May God continue to bless you abundantly!!!

Nice video. U seem like a real cool dude. I'm an overhead just got my cdl b license. With restrictions. Automatic. I paid out of pocket for my training. Failed the road test in a 10 speed manual twice but the third time I took it in an automatic and passed. I decided to make a career change after 22 years working in a warehouse. Then Covid HIT and changed everything. I didn't particularly care how things were handled at my job and how we were treated while the big bosses stayed home. We all came in to work and we all got infected with Covid. I didn't know I had it and infected my family. I lost my dad to covid back in January 2021. It was then I knew I had to make a change. So in April 2023 I got my CDL B. I'm looking for work still every place wants experience but I have a friend that drives a dump for a small business owner fleet of 25. I'm just nervous cause it's been a few weeks since I've been behind the wheel of a truck and I'm afraid I might mess up when they take me out on a road test. I just turned 51 big guy...I hope the boss has enough patience with new drivers as you!

Thank you my friend, I'm glad to see you've gotten your cdl and I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I know how situations get rough in life, but there is a man who has conquered this world, and I'll tell you that in Him you will have everything that you need. His name is Jesus and His plan for you is greater than anything! If it's God's will for you to get with that company then it will happen. Just seek Him by reading His word and let it change your life. There's no need to be nervous, have confidence in God and in what you read in His Word, and pray and ask Him to guide you in what you should do. He will never leave you alone if you ask Him for forgiveness of your sins and ask Him to be the Lord of your life (if you haven't already done so).
I work for my county in Road and Bridge getting my CDL. It's a rural county so a lot of rock dumps. I will be taking my 3 tests next week. Can't wait. Like you I have wanted to do this for years! Thank you!

It would be a pretty short video in my case, the company I'm with didn't do any tests after hiring me on. It really does depend on the company you get with. They just had me ride along with other drivers until a truck became available for me to drive.
How did you get your school paid for if you don’t mind me asking ?
My question is in the dump truck job when the bosses send the addresses to go to work, are the addresses correct?

You could get some experience working for a company that runs dump trucks. Easiest way to get a job is go there and ask for one. The worse they can say is no.
Don’t judge me but when everybody said you drove a dump truck, I used to think they was talking about the garbage truck🥲 and then I finally found out what a dump truck was like a week ago🤣 but the whole time I was like woooow I didn’t know you needed to go to school to drive the trash truck😭 I’m so sry😂😭

This company has us write out load count sheets to keep track of what's being hauled. Quarries give out tickets when we get loads from them
