I live in Pennsylvania, so these are the PA laws. Your state may vary.I'm providing requirements if you do / don't already have a CDLIf you already have a CDL, you'll need to get a learners permit for passenger and school bus endorsements. (if you've driven a city bus or a coach bus, you should already have a passenger endorsement, so you'll just need a learners permit for a school bus endorsement).Companies usually require a certain amount of years driving any other vehicle, which they'll list on their website. NYC Transit Authority requires one year driving in NY City, for example.You need 40 hours of in-class training (which the company'll provide), 40 hours of on-the-road training (which the company'll provide), then you'll take an airbrakes test, a skills test and a road test (which the company'll provide). If you pass, you'll have your updated CDL and S card mailed to you.You also need a Certificate of Completion that shows you completed online training and know how to recognize and report child abuse.You need a DOT physical, but unlike truck driving, you aren't required to carry it on you unless you're training .(I think. Don't quote me on this.)If you don't have a CDL, you'll need learners permit for an L restriction removal (allows to to operate vehicles with airbrakes), a learners permit for at least a Class B vehicle and a passenger and school bus endorsement learners permit.You'll also have to pay an outrageously-steep fee to upgrade your license.The company'll provide checks to cover this in some cases.You need to pass a DOT physical, but you only need to carry it on you during training. (i think. Don't quote me on this)40 hours of in-class training and 40 hours of on-the-road training. (the company'll cover this)Then you need an airbrakes, skills and road test, which the company'll cover.You need a Certificate of Completion that proves you took online training on how to recognize and report child abuse.You need a certain amount of general driving experience determined by the company.

I hate truck stops for sleeping. I pretty much run in the Northeast (NY -where I live, MA, ME, NH, VT, PA). There are maybe 3 or 4 truck stops I'll stay at.My nightly routine:Get parked and look over my tractor and trailer to make sure everything is in order.Talk to my wife and kids. Usually through instant messaging.Figure out what I want for food. 99% of the time I make something in the truck. I have a single burner stove, a pot, and a pan. Shhh don't tell DOT!!!If I am staying at a truck stop, feeling motivated, and have a few extra dollars I might go inside to shower and then sit down for a decent meal.Watch a movie or a few episodes of whatever has caught my interest (Netflix or Amazon).Put on some relaxing music or maybe guided meditation. I don't think I've made it though the first 10 minutes of the latter.Oh…and sometimes, as I'm dozing off, I'll wonder why I didn't go out and walk around or do something remotely physical. Maybe tomorrow…. Zzzzzzzzzzz
