What R U Eating ? ~OGH wants to know.....

Theres a whole world out there man
Dont gotta settle for no half assed broke job. That is unless YOU settleo_O

I meant to ask you the other day. I've been considering CDL school and I'm wondering your opinion on getting a local route right away? For a number of reasons I'm not trying to go on the road. I know the money is less and I'm okay with that. It's still way more than I make now.

I know from reading online it's possible, just wondering your opinion on how hard it'll be to land a job. I'll have to pay for school myself without signing a contract with a big company. For me that'll be a big investment. Just from looking at classifieds seems everyone wants a year or two of experience.

So many things to address here...
A CDL is the way to go for sure. You should make 50k easy right away. Go to school takes 3 months or less and your employable right away. ALOT of ppl dont want to go over the road including ME when i was a whipper snapper 12 yrs ago but i did it cuz its part of paying your dues and like you said EVERYONE wants experience and OTR companies openly recruit rookie drivers.

Things have changed IMO. Local pays better than ever. Skies the limit. Its where you need to be.
We can PM together if need be. Dont wanna take over this thread but school loans have 6 month deferrments and you can even go to school free if you sign a contract to be with say Schneider for 2 years. I paid 7k for my schooling that was 12 yrs ago and was a good investment even though it doesnt always seem like it. Im on the edge of owning my own company. Maybe another year and your talking 200k and over money. Lots of freight to move and your gonna need a steady hand and alot of Joe to make it

Pm me ill help further

Yeah this guy here speaks the truth. Here in NYC companies give you a chance to learn how to drive in order to take your CDL. Most hands on and no schooling unless you want to go to drivers school. I got my CDL right out of highschool. My dad and grandfather were truckers and my father became a civil service truck driver for the city. Seriously nothing else out there right now. Construction is slow and I'm considering picking up a route on the side.

Brother. You can make deals with companies. They'll teach you how to drive if you stick with them for a year or two after that. I learned how to drive a truck in the parking lot of coca-cola bottling Co. and from there I took a part time route to honor my side of the deal. Wasn't bad but here in NYC you get a lot more tickets from double parking. I earned a good amount of money but the guys who own their own bread/milk/snacks/baked good or other perishable goods make Great money and they only work from 2AM to 8AM here in NYC

Your talking straight truck
That is a different story. Much easier to get a job and they are not considered skilled professionals.
You can have your INTRA state CDL A at 18 but i have never seen or heard of a company actually exercising thay option simply due to liability and the sheer cost to insure an inexperienced driver. Infact most companies do not like to employ any driver under 26 due to the cost of insurance.

I don't know the ins and outs of trucking. I just know from a local stand point.

Most of my family are teamsters or local union truck drivers. It's definitely different because the load/speed/gear etc so I totally agree.

CDL B only qualifies as air brakes and GVW 26,000 lb and no combination vehicle

CDL A qualifies up to 80,000 lb GVW. Overweight permits qualifies anything over 80,000. Combination vehicle(obviously) which can be doubles or triples and air brakes
 
Not enough halibut lol. You need to eat a pound of it to qualify to have eaten it. Lol.

Seriously though my next big blast I'm counting all my calories and I'm going to break down and get a weight scale to fully dedicate myself to this.
Like one of those food scales
Its a must in our lifestyle. Get one with a tare weight so you can take away the weight of the dish your measuring your food with. Great tool. Itll help show you what a real 2 portions of pasta looks like and what a real 10oz piece of beef, chicken or pork looks like. I like numbers. I record everything. Numbers dont lie or bullshit. In the gym or on your nutrition plan. Numbers

That carries over to post cycle too. No your not going to keep all that anabolic activity on just a trt dose. I lose my superman strength to a good degree but most of my mass stays. I even had this convo with another regular BB i see in the gym everyday. He still thinks im on and paid me what i consider a tremendous compliment. Havent been in 6 months.
Thats cuz i pay attention to....NUMBERS

Yeah I seriously need to buckle down and do this. Starting to realize I might be overeating on meals and messing with my overall energy levels. I also realize on tren if I'm not carbing or drinking enough water I'm tanked and that's the difference between 275lb for 10 reps and 315 for 6 reps...

The realization hit me today that I've been pinning everyday (short esters since November 6th) I'm learning the hard way but for now on it's all long esters for me. I control my e2 better on heavy Cyp and I'm hoping I can last this month and 1-2 weeks into April with this final blast. Not going to lie and I'm a straight shooter when I talk about what I do. I'm harpooning myself with a 22g with Test/tren suspension everyday so I might scale back my Prop/short Ester test mix. Just miserable tired. My next blast I'm going to clean out on a TRT dose for a while and I'll try lower dosages and see how my energy levels peak. I'm thinking along the lines my CNS is heavily over loaded and I can literally fall asleep standing up...
