Yay! Glad things are finally looking up.

 

Holy &$#& I finished reading this entire thread and am now addicted. Wedge sounds like things are going your way...I sure do hope you get on the road soon.

A/T nice videos on you tube.

Ok all opinion needed. I have do e a lot of research and still much to do but I am in the process of picking a school to go to. I am very interested in two: the first one is American Institute of Technology four week course and guarantee placement most likely with Swift. On the other hand Watkins Shepard has the same deal. Since I am retired AF I have my GI bill to help off set the cost of the school. Both offer great assistance with financial aid and both rate high with the BBB. I guess my dilemma is with who I want to work for when I finish. I know about opinions but after reading this thread you all have had so much input
(with everything) that I would really appreciate any insight you could provide.

BTW I do not know how to type and to make matters worse I typed this on my IPad (what the hell was I thinking?) I will check back soon

Oooops I did not see the redundant typo...apologies

 

Unless you are nearly homeless I would consider a different job path.

 

Thanks Halfburn, the goal is to get enough OTR experience so I can drive locally. I have always liked driving and the wife is onboard as well...although she is a veteran when it comes to me being gone it is something we can put up with. I have adapted to so many lifestyles in my 25 hrs with the AF I think this is one I can adapt to as well. Most companies (if not all) require OTR experience before you can pick up a job driving locally. Besides being an aircraft mechanic this will be a welcomed change of pace.

 

A/T I got a hold of your PTI...thanks for making it available
