There is a very good chance that DWI will show up. You can't enter Canada with a DWI, usually anyway. Plus Central WILL find out about everything you've done. Remember that time you farted in church, Central will find out about it.!!!!!!!!

Patience is a virtue!

Have you checked into the WIA (Workforce Improvement Act) money? The feds will pay up to $4,000 for you to receive training. If you're still at all interested in being a trucker, then I recommend calling the Utah Workforce Services office nearest you (I seem to remember you live in Utah). They'll set up an interview time and you can state your case.

Other schools will also qualify, but I used Roadmaster since they reduce the prices for WIA students so that the student has no out of pocket for any of the schooling, DMV tests and Medical tests. West Valley City has a Roadmaster school, so that won't be much of a daily commute from Lehi.

The best part about this money, is that you don't have to repay anything. Ever. Central won't take you directly out of school, but there are a fair number of companies that will.

Just my $0.02.

Way cool. My brother scored a couple of tickets to the OU?Tulsa game tomorrow and is taking his daughter with him. I'm glad of that since I'm just not a real big sports fan. If I was tho.................

Go Sooners!!!!!!!!!! lol

Hey all.. I've been solo for central about 3 months now.. I just got put on the new dedicated state run.. Which is mainly the south and a few northern states.. My question is.. With hopefully more miles now.. Would it be benificiary(sp?) To go o/o for central? My prostar is a real piece and I really want my own buisness..

My only concern is after my school Is paid off.. I won't get any miles and be forced to waste all that money. I'm looking to get either a pete 386 or a w9. I want to go coors dedicated.. Anyone know if either of the trucks I've listed are too heavy. Lastly.. How much,Everything,total, is a payment a week on either of those?

OKC would not recognize it and issued me a temp number, therefore the DWI has never shown up on my Texas DL. Should I be concerned?

TELL THEM EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
