The Mother of All Loads
This morning the satellite beeper goes off as I'm resting in central California... I'm instructed to head in towards San Francisco to pick up a trailer then take it to Orlando, FL. About 2,900 miles all told. Dirty job, but someone has to do it.
If you are looking for an excellent school to teach you how to drive a big rig, you should consider Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri. I did my training there and the instruction is first rate. If you are looking for a trucking company, you might look into the deal that Con-Way Truckload has with Crowder for training. Call Christine Harwick at 800-641-4747 and tell her where you heard about them!
