Just wondering how often job openings for this come about, im considering next fall after we are done touring for the year to go work for a company that leases out entertainer coaches. I know a CDL will be required so i will have to get one before that, but besides that....is it a hard field to get into?The only thing that i can see being my downfall is i am 21 right now, 22 by then. However chances are i know more about busses than most current drivers. At least from my observation every time i try to initiate a conversation at a truck stop or rest area with a bus driver, they know nothing....not even what kind of bus theyre driving!! (Obviously i know, but nothing is a better conversation starter than 'Is that a MC (insert model here)' unless of course the answer is 'i dont know, i just am paid to drive these things!'So anyways, i know some of you on here used to be or still are in the industry.....i am just looking to fulfill my love of driving busses when im not on tour haha. 21 years old and single and not married....might as well take advantage of it! I am however specifically interested in entertainer coaches.Thanks guys!Worst case scenario, with the bus market the way it is right now, ill just buy a personal bus for myself and just work on that! haha, i do love driving them though :-)))))
When starting out driving truck, I found out the hard way that insurance companies don't want you if you're under 25, and most companies wants drivers with at least 2 years of provable driving experience. How can you get driving experience if nobody will hire you? That's the 6 million dollar question. Good luck if you find out. I personally, started with a local moving company to get up to the 2 years of experience before I bought my first truck. Good Luck, TomC
