Would like advice on how to get started in the industry of truck driving. Own a 1999 Freightliner and ready to haul loads but not sure what avenues I should take to get started. Any and all advice much appreciated. Thanks. Dave

As I have read from many experienced truckers. Park your rig, start as a company driver to get your feet wet. Learn the business first. That way you won't get shafted and become discouraged and quit.
