Truck driving in Morocco
Hi guys! I'm currently facing a predicament, and after long hours of research and looking through dozens and dozens of sources I figured I might aswell ask you guys and hopefully find an answer, especially from anyone who could be in this industry and/or know a close friend or relative who is.
I'm currently 19, sakn f tanja and I want to pursue a truck driving career (Permis EC). From my research, I gathered the legal process and information about how to get there (21 years old minimum, permis C, permis EC, carte professionelle etc) and I pretty much have a plan just in theory but want any advice/opinions and if people have any additional useful information they can share. I'm fully aware of the cons and risks of truck driving and the isolation and long time away from home, and physical demands. I'm also not worried about the costs of getting the drivers licenses in the first place. None of those things concern me.
Based off my research, I currently plan on basically doing 2 years in OFPPT logistics (level Technicien) and getting a certificate first, the main focus behind that to make myself more attractive to the bigger trucking companies long term. I then plan on gathering experience, working my way up to permis EC (permis super-lourd) and driving national routes for a few years before applying to international routes to drive Morocco-Europe routes for better pay. I'm confident in being a stronger candidate for this position as a multilingual (arabic, french, english & spanish, all fluent), and I could choose to remain in that position, or I could then come back to driving local/national with an ADR (basically hazardous materials/fuel transport) driver certificate and getting decent pay while also being at home a lot more than while doing International routes, OR loong into the future be an owner operator with my own truck.
I just want any advice or opinions on my plans for the future, aswell as maybe tips on how difficult it is to find a starter job in the field for when you first get your drivers license, and I'm open to discussing this topic. thank you!
