I will follow those steps in choosing the best heavy hauling company that can help me to move my heavy machine to another branch of my factory.<br /><br /><a href="http://edwardsmoving.com/hauling.html" rel="nofollow">heavy hauling equipment</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732606342385561234.post-44566998738839719462011-08-21T05:41:45.275-07:002011-08-21T05:41:45.275-07:00Persephone, hello!

If not, it's so good to meet you!<br /><br />As far as safety goes, I am only slightly concerned about it. I grew up poor and although it sounds maybe a little cliche, I have a pretty good eye for danger and can usually avoid it long before hand, and if needed, I can totally defend myself. There is a thread on truckingtruth.com about this very topic, and I'm going to look into that more as well. I think that in recent years the general safety of truck stops has increased SO much, it used to be that they were infested with prostitution and pimps, drugs, violence, etc. but it has cleaned up quite a bit. I'm sure that stuff is out there but I can avoid it and keep to myself when I spot it.<br /><br />Some companies allow pets and some don't. A lot of truckers, from what I've read, have dogs with them. My dad told me once that many truckers have cats with them, although I don't know how true that is. I have two cats now, and it would be really tough on me emotionally to give them up, but I might be able to keep them with my parents, possibly. I really don't know what that plan will be like, yet. <br /><br />There is trucking school, which is 3-6 weeks or so depending on which school it is, and then you have to take a written and a driving exam to get your Class A license which is probably about equivalent to your HGV. Then there are other endorsements like you mentioned, for sensitive materials and other things.<br /><br />I will keep everyone updated on my investigations of this, and my decision in the end as well, and then, who knows, I may turn into a truckin' blogger and show you all the sights as I go along!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment Persephone and you have a lot of good questions!Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762513807145460682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732606342385561234.post-62981205218378198882011-08-21T04:31:39.493-07:002011-08-21T04:31:39.493-07:00Wow, what a change you are proposing, sounds like ...Wow, what a change you are proposing, sounds like you have been thinking hard about it though. I admire your determination and creativeness. I think my biggest concern would be safety first, and leaving friends and pets behind (or can they go too?) Do you need to take special tests to drive a truck, we do here in the UK, we need something called a Heavy Goods Licence, (HGV) and then there are further tests for different cargoes, like armaments, nuclear, chemicals, etc. Will be interesting to see what you decide BeverleyPenelope Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190283086298117094noreply@blogger.com
