    Only a few weeks away my friend. Go get it started so on the first you can jump right in. The paper work takes about 3 or 4 week for the most part.

    everyones posts have been very helpful to me in investigating various companies,etc,etc
    Ya cant always just go by what the websites say cause they say anything to get most ppl in the door.
    Hearing from actual men and women who have been there,done that is important.

    @BruceStarkweather There is a bunch and I do mean a bunch of paperwork and hoops that you have to jump through, along with numerous amounts of documentation. Go start your paperwork tomorrow. Don't sign up and I'm sure most will agree, its better to go in not owing these companies your life. Also if you leave before the contract is up. fired or quit. You will owe these guys the minute you leave for the schooling they gave you. Some of these places will blow you out in a few days and guess what, you owe them all that money for them to kick you out. There are schools that do this because they make bank.

    I understand that. if you want to stop the grant just go get a job and that will be the end of the grant.

    You missed my point... A seat belt violation by the driver cost the company in CSA points and in dollars. Your inability to avoid the easiest ticket to avoid may make them not want to hire you.

    Policy is on a company by company basis so you may be making a lot of phone calls to determine who your ticket is least important to.

    your title kind of reminded me of a multi millionaire who made his fortune selling toilet paper, his favorite phrase was "i started at the bottom and am still working my way up" :D

    Lol
    I figured I'd start it that way cause I'm sure the site has gotten more then it's fair share of dumb topics/posts.

    Naw I understood what ya meant. It's only 1 ticket if it's still even on my record.i know my state is like 2 or 3 years.
    Once the time comes where I have to choose what way I'm going,I'll have recent dmv copy in hand.So I'll know for sure what if anything is still on record.course diff companies might have different requirements,etc,etc
