PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 07, 2010 – Here at Edgeolite.com we will try to help you negotiate through the Bull S*#@*, why because we were truckers and blue collar people from the grass roots of the industry. OK Let’s get a good understanding on how trucking jobs work. First of all are you willing to go over the road? If not you need to look at local companies and maybe just drive a straight truck. If you go over the road the pay is better but you are away from your family more. Another question, Do you want to own a truck or work for some body? Did you just get your license or have you had it?
If you want to have your own truck you should get a lease contract under another company first. In today’s times you do not want to buy a truck and have to find work. A lease contract with another company will get you working sooner with out going out and finding work. The trucking company usually will help you with insurance, authority and paper work needed to get you going. However, like anything else it is not free. They usually take between 20-30% of your gross. But you will be working with out having to find work.
Now, If you just started the easiest part of the industry to get a job in is the freight industry. Mainly because it is less hazardous Then liquids or hazmat. The companies figure as long as you can drive the truck you should be fine. Most of the beginning work is what they call drop and hook. The bottom line to this is if you just started it will be hard to get into a job at a company that has to do with drivers that need a lot of experience with certain equipment to un load, like dry bulk ,plastic, propane. But less risky cargo will be easier for you to get your foot in the door to get started so focus more on calling those companies for work. We at edgeolite.com will be coming out with more article on this subject with weeks to come and
