I'm not sure where you are but here's an idea. Trenholm Tech College in Montgomery has an excellent driver school. IF you could work while you were in school then you wouldn't have any debt. Willy Saunders in Troy AL will take you as well as few other companies here in my area. I'll get you a list of names and the URL for the school. You MIGHT be able to get a PELL Grant which is based on your income and you DON"T have to pay it back either. Just an Idea.
PLEASE, someone tell me "at least Swift will take you"

cooool! i used a pell a few years back for my HVAC/R training, can you get it again? for a different trade?

I was just trying to remember my last 10 years of employment. Then I tried to think of what I had for breakfast and came up with the same answer.. :smt102

	dude, the worst part is i went through all my tax info from last 10 yrs. and because of "payroll companies" or whatever you may call them it is useless info, as the W-2 doesnt have the actual Co. name on it.

I do good some days to rember WHAT my name is so don't feel bad LOL
Idea: make a resume IF you haven't all ready. update it EACH time something changes even at the same company. - 
	
	i think i will start doing that on the 'puter and a hard copy for backup!!

Hmmm..all my W-2's have company names on them as it has to since they get sent to the IRS. Never had one that didn't. Now what they don't have is employment dates. Some recruiters will take check stubs as well if you have them which will include dates and hourly wages. One thing I did was take one of my resumes and for each employer and I included things like address, phone numbers, supervisors names/ reson for leaving and dates. Then I use this same resume for every application I fill out online so the info will be the same on all and it helps make sure I use the same info when I actually get a hardcopy application to fill out from the employer. It helps to stay consistant with it.
Good luck to you!

	my wife could possibly be blind LOL but the "company" is a payroll mangement or employee leasing type deal. small business' use them to get cheaper workers comp. amd health care rates i think.

	go to a department of labor office and maybe they could send you to a trucking school. it would be no cost to you. also on your applications to companies dont lie about anything. be honest.

definately not putting them all in the same basket. i have 2 backup plans that both involve out of town schooling. one a gov. program and one a Co. sponsored mill
