Either way, before you even get to that point do your research first.
No matter what else you do, remember to research the truck company that you are thinking to go with. If nothing else at least look the trucking company standing with the Better Business Bureau and with the Safety and Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER) System.
Something else to consider is that even though new drivers need money to get their lives in order, don’t spend it all. Try to invest some. Speak with a professional financial adviser, put it in a high interest savings account, do something but resist the urge to blow it all on some vacation.
You might think 1500 isn’t much of an investment, especially if you spend part of it. Well even saving 50 bucks a month equals $600 a year. If you do that for 20 years you’ll have $12,000 plus interest, plus an additional you added. Now the more you set aside the more you’ll have when you get ready to retire.
Just think, if you invest all your truck driver signing bonuses and other bonuses, you can get through your career you could be worry free by retirement!
