    Hey whats up everyone, it's been awhile since i've been on the forums i've just been focusing on school and work trying to finish so i can be done with school. I'll be graduating in May, and just started looking at trucking websites and schools thinking about applying.

    Schneider finally accepts a trucking school here in Fresno and Knight, Swift and Werner also accept the same school. So that's most likely where i will be starting. I want to start the school now so i am done by the time i finish up school but i'm also working full time so I don't think that will be an option.

    My question is, when should i apply to the companies i want to work for? Should i apply before, after or during the trucking school that I am attending.

    Also i have never had any tickets but i just bought this last week, so lets pray that I can go 6 more months without a ticket :biggrin_2554:

    The Mighty Carsoni says he sees your drivers license points increasing exponentially.

    A single speeding ticket is not the same when you have a CDL, if you get 2 the only truck you're going to be driving is your own....

    I would sell that thing! Been down that road! Plus once you go over the road you will never be home to ride it. Course I guess you could bring it with you on the cat walk!:biggrin_25520:

    Nice bike.

    I would not suggest selling it.

    Store it.

    You are only 21. Do you realize how much that bike will be worth in 30 years - if you store it properly right now?

    It might be the only retirement fund you will ever need.
