DOT Medical Certification
Here’s a video to show you what the DOT physical is like. This physical is mandatory and is generally $100 at most urgent cares. You’ll need to take this physical before you even take the permit test. When it’s time to take your CDL permit test, the DMV will ask for your medical certificate. They will not let you take the knowledge test if you don’t provide this document. I made this mistake myself and had to reschedule my DMV appointment setting me back two weeks of the CDL process. Keep in mind if you have diabetes, you’ll be denied if you inject insulin. It has to be in pill form. 🏥

Commercial Driver’s License
Start off 2024 by taking the steps to get your Class A and on the road to a 6 figure career. This is the year you stop procrastinating and get into an industry that will allow you to work anywhere in the nation! 🚛
The first thing you need to do is study for the CDL. Download the DMV study guide from their website. I also recommend downloading the CDL prep app. It’s free and has the same questions as the DMV test. When you are ready to take the air brake and knowledge test, make a DMV appointment. Before your appointment you’ll need a DOT physical from an urgent care. Not all urgent cares offer DOT physicals, so call and find out which one does. They are generally $100 for a medical certificate. When your DMV appointment arrives, take your birth certificate, ID, medical certificate, and two utility bills that prove you live at your residence. ✅
After passing your test you’ll receive a Class A permit and you can either pay $3,000 to enroll in trucking school which is 27 courses 1 hour each course, or you can apply for a trucking company that will provide paid training. Takes around 2-4 months to get your CDL from start to finish depending on the pace you set for yourself. Any other questions feel free to ask. 💬
Happy New Year’s! 🥂

☢️Radioactive Loads☢️
Here’s a quick video of a truck driver getting interviewed by news reporters on his concern of the radioactive active loads he was hauling. 🚛☢️
The truck driver mentions all the red flags he noticed when he would pick up his loads. One red flag in particular that he mentions is that the workers loading his truck wore their (PPE) radioactive protective suits. In a situation like this, the driver is supposed to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Even if you’re hauling poisonous gases, a driver is supposed to get a gas mask. If you don’t have (PPE) Highway Patrol can cite you and shut down your tractor. When hauling hazardous materials always go by the book. If you don’t know or understand the rules, call the Highway Patrol to find out. 📖

Ready Mixed Driver
Here’s a short video of what it’s like to be a concrete mixer driver. 🚛
If driving an 18 wheeler is a bit to much for you, I highly recommend getting a Class B CDL and become a concrete mixer driver. To get a Class B CDL, it only costs around $1,500 which is half the cost of a Class A CDL. Some companies will even provide paid training. You should keep in mind this type of job can get busy in the summer months and slow down in the winter. There’s not to much concrete pouring when it rains or snows. Salary ranges can be in between $25-$30 an hour depending on experience. ✅

How to Beat Diabetes
The chances of a truck driver getting diabetes is 50% higher than any other profession. Here’s a video of how a truck driver beat diabetes by changing his eating habits and a little bit of exercising. 🏋️♀️
As a truck driver myself I try to stay as healthy as possible by exercising everyday for 30 minutes. 🏃♂️ My eating habits consist of oatmeal and peanut butter, egg whites, tuna, salads, almonds, cheese sticks, V8 juice, and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. For dinner I’ll eat a variety of foods, but mostly chicken and vegetables. If you’re considering of pursuing a career as a truck driver, keep in mind that if you get diabetes you can lose your CDL. Don’t fall into that trap of eating fast food and sugary snacks, especially if you’re an OTR driver. 🥗
