21 years of-age, I have a solid job in Freight/Receiving at Lowe’s. However, the pay isn’t the best I need something that I can get into while I’m young and stack wealth so I figured trucking. I work with a ton of truckers all day and I tend to ask the truckers that I run into at my store whether or not they like their job and most of them say they love it. This has been leading me to wonder how can I get started in this field? Training , School, CDL programs, I’ve heard jobs pay for training?

Its hard to answer your question without knowing if you're talking about going out on the road long haul. There are plenty of Over the Road trucking companies that will hire you and train you to get your CDL, but you will be under contract to drive for them alone for a set period of time. If you just want to get your CDL to drive for a local hourly rate company, you will probably be on the hook to pay for your own schooling and CDL but most trucking schools offer job placement afterward. I have been a driver for 30+ years and have seen it all and done it all. I can answer anything you want to know.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
