Mannmk,
Can I ask you a personal question?
When you first begat this thread, did you
expect the responses you received?
Man-0-MaN!
I think this thread has the potential to help a LOT of others in many ways.
IMO, this has turned out to be a Most Excellent Thread.
I wonder sometimes if a Big truck trucker can afford the home roots to grow too deep? Sometimes y'all gotta up-root and go where the better job opportunities exist.
Arizona could be the place.
And it isn't a bad place to be -- albeit hot in the summer. It's one more decision to consider -- all things being considered.
Ya reckon.

The constuction co put civil on my app also. -
And by the way,Kingman sits at 3500ft so its a hell of lot cooler here than what you here on the news about PHX,Havasu or Bullhead city.
Here is a niffty link:

Thought I would share with you guys some really good news. I got hired by an OTR company that will put me with a trainer for a few weeks to get back into it again. They want me out there a few weeks before my wife finishes school so that I will be able to train her. It's been a long time and I'm really looking forward to it.
We will be packing the house up to put everything in storage. Hopefully by next spring we will be able to purchase some property over in G.V. I probably won't be leaving till next Friday or Sunday. After that won't have access to internet till I fly back for my wife and dog. Wish everyone here the best. Good thread guys Thanks to everybody

Agree with Aftershock!!!!!!!!!! Very informative thread

To answer your question, no, I had no idea. I was just sitten here in Arizona wounder'n why Schneider didn't want someone from AZ. So, I put the question out there via this thread. I eventually found out the State of Arizona won't except training from any other school out of state. I'm still not clear on this. I think what it is is that Arizona won't except trianing from another state if you go to school in another state then come here and ask for your cdl.
So this thread is somehow helpful or more helpful that other threads? If so this is good. It's good that people could come here and be helped and helpful to others.
Roots. You maybe right the job picture may demand that we be able to move from one boom area to another, like Canada or Texas. Arizona my be one of those places in the future?
Ya, it isn't to bad of a place. Everything is as close to being like California as you can get. Thats probable why so many people from CA move here, besides the super low taxes. I'm guess'n low taxes is a big motivator. Most people don't even think about this little area. It's really an UNKOWN.
As for the heat in the summer, I don't even consider that. Me and another guy from CA were just sitten here at the beginning of the week talk'n about the temp. I said you know it's 81 degrees here in my house right now and it feels like a perfect 72 feels like in CA. Thats the way it is all the time. When it's a 100 it feels like 90 feels in CA. The temp is lower here than Vegas. Vegas is 105 in the day time and 96 at night. It never cools down. And 105 feels like 105 it's hot in Vegas. Here the temps about 10 degrees lower and at night it cools down to the 70's and 80's. A person can open the windows. You can go out side and play around, walk or run or go wheel'n or what ever you do. Vegas it's to hot night and day to do much but go to the casino's. Remember I'm talk'n about this little area around Kingman and Golden Valley. Now, down at Bullhead and Laughlin it gets HOT, Lake Havasu too, killer heat, 114-120-130 deg. for 3 mos. out of the year, Phoneix is very hot for along time. Now that's ****'* really, really hot.
