This is your ticket out of languishing within the irregular-route coolie carrier OTR industry. Concentrate totally on becoming proficient at the job at hand. Absolutely no distractions. None! Keep us posted. I'm rooting for ya brother.

Don't wear your keys on your belt and leave the phone out of the truck. Little scratches add up. I've hauled my share of cars with United.

If you're working for an owner operatore (as opposed to working for the company s/he's leased to) be sure you're getting paid what you're worth- and DON'T DAMAGE CARS! You won't be a car hauler for long if you damage cars. Many o/o who pay a driver don't pay that driver competetive rates because they simply can't. Just a little food for thought.
