    KH, best of luck to you. Sorry that things did not work out, but hell, it's another learning experience. At this point, your best bet is to put it behind you, and move on.

    Jerry, welcome to the forum. I'm sure you have a lot to offer, so don't be a stranger here.

    The fact that two people tried to work together, and found out it was not a good idea, should NOT be something for a public debate. Pelosi happens to all of us from time to time.

    I hope that both of you guys stick around the forum, and move on to other topics. Good luck to both of you.

    Big Don,

    I appreciate your understanding and kind words as always. After talking to my family, I have decided to get something part-time until this economy picks up when my CDL can be into use. In the meantime if a potential employer that is local or is in the orlando area decides to hire me for my CDL and gives me training I'll take the job offer in a heartbeat.

    The beginning is always difficult King... but you are very young and will have a lot of time and other opportunities. Just take it easy and keep on trying. If this is what you really want, it will happen. I'm sure you have learnt a lot from this experience and will learn much more. Keep up the good, positive attitude you have and you will succeed. All best wishes to you. :biggrin_25519:

    Thanks Rocks for your kind words. I am working for dad doing various stuff until I can find a real job and volunteer on here as a Greeter for new members. I am young and plan on making the most of my life. I plan on getting a cat and volunteering somewhere.

    As I mentioned in my latest blog; I am simply putting trucking on hold. I hope everyone understands the reasoning behind my decision and why. If I had to do a repeat, we would do SOLO miles from the beginning and take it from there. I was not that person and could not team right away but its all and done with. I have ambitions and goals I will achieve later on.

    This is totally selfish but I would like to see you go to Swift just so I could learn from your experience and read about how things go there. :) Hope things work out for the best.

    Sir,

    Take your negativity somewhere else. Your comment offends me and you do not know me like some members do.

    Don't worry about his negative comments KH. There IS a place in this world for "weird freaky dudes." I am living proof of that, along with certain other forum members that I will not name. In fact, the world is FULL of "weird freaky dudes" and trucking certainly has its share of them.
     
    The Challenger Thanks this.

    I didn't see the negative post, but I agree with Don. I personally don't mind weird freaky dudes and find many of them interesting. And KH, if you are a weird freaky dude, you are a interesting one. I have enjoyed reading your posts and am glad you have chosen to share your journey with us.
