    There wasn't many from what he said. Werner I believe and maybe another one or two. At the time he got his CDL, he was working at a construction job and his boss is the one who suggested him to go get his CDL because of the equipment and trailers they pulled at times and he became a main worker that his boss relied on so that's one reason he hasn't really "used" his CDL I guess as people have said. He needed it at times, but he wasn't in a specific trucking job at the time. Also, his class was rather small, something like 8 people and most were there for the same reason. Their bosses put them through school so no he didn't really keep in touch with anyone. His main focus was paying attention in class and absorbing the information needed to pass his testing and really learning the material, not necessarily making friends should I say. That's exactly what I was trying to do was research and ask experienced drivers for recommendations hence the reason I turned to this site, and absolutely nobody thinks it's a company's job to make him happy lol I'm aware that he's the only one who can do that for himself when it comes to work but he is a good worker and can and will grind hard. I just wanted to get some information and see what recommendations and experiences other drivers had...

    Not yet, I apologize. I'm a mom and a med-student myself so I've been busy today. I will check into it though and I really do appreciate the recommendations and help rather than being hateful. That's the whole reason I made this post and more and more I'm starting to almost regret even asking for help.

    Don't regret it; asking for help. Some drivers seem crusty, but mean well.
    What field in Med are you working toward? My daughter is a 'traveling nurse' and makes great money bumping $200,000G a year

    This is a new company and coming to Georgia soon. Maybe note it for future reference.
    One new cdl driver in another state was just hired to work there.

    If he’s riding with a trainer, you don’t have to be anxious about him sitting broke down. Worry about him and the trainer not trying to kill each other. One thing at a time. Get done with the training phase.
