What to take when you go out

Posted 11.28.2008 at 08.56 AM by squirrel033
I'm not sure if this was where I should post this. So if it isn't I apologize.

Thanks

More Research

As much as I enjoy Thanksgiving, I am glad it is over. Now I can focus on trying to get back into my old truck driving school for a refresher. I don't think I will be able to get through to anyone today because most people get Friday (or take Friday) off. On Monday I am going to call my school. If I can't get through to them I will just drive there. That is probably a better idea.

I had an interesting two days since I last posted. My old trainer sent me an email asking me to...

I'm looking at becoming a truck driver. I've been reading all the blogs on here, and find them helpful, so thank you to all who have posted. I have no experience so I'm weighing my options. 1st Roadmaster trucking school, 2nd Schneider company training or 3rd Swift company training.
I'd like to hear from you all on here as what's the best route.
Thanks in advance for your comments

trash or treasure

Going out with a trainer

Posted 11.26.2008 at 05.23 AM by ParkRanger
Saturday I'm going to meet my trainer n Laurinburg and hit the highway!! After being told that I'd have to go to IL and meet a trainer,things changed yesterday and now I'll be closer to home. Drove a guy to the airport who had been out for two weeks with his trainer and is heading home for his first time in 6 weeks. Will update you on training when I get a chance.
