    No insurance is not a "moving violation". All you really have going against you is the running red light and the one at fault accident..with those two you should be okay. Find a cheaper school, I only paid 2500 bucks through my local community college. Consider yourself luck if you break $40,000 your first year.

    I've always been wary of people that smile all the time. They are hiding behind it.

    And I'm not a bad butt, but some people would say I am hard in many ways.
    I stand my ground, no matter the outcome. That is my 'intimidation factor'.
    Because I am not strong or anything. I just stand there and will stare you down until you back away.
    Total bluff, all the way, for the most part.
    Thing is, I don't smile. Or frown or look angry or scared. I just look right into their eyes.

    Look someone dead in the eyes with no expression... they won't know how to respond.

    Southwest will finance the school if you want.
    Did you get a Nevada drivers license or a Nevada cdl permit?
    So, you have a Nevada address?
    If you have a Nevada address, keep it and you won't have to pay state income taxes.
    Get a copy of your MVR so you know exactly what's showing. That's the information you use on job applications. Don't volunteer any information that isn't asked for.
    Here's a small company you can check with about a job at graduation:
    CHOI'S TRUCKING INC
    3367 Trickling Stream Cir
    Las Vegas, NV 89117

    I got a Nevada drivers license. And yes I have a Nevada address. Okay thank you I’ll check out that trucking company. I’m more interested in being part of a team, if I can find the right person?

    I have no problem being “homeless” in a truck year round. I’ve drove from Phoenix to Austin straight through quite a few times so I think I can handle being out on the road 24/7.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Get all the endorsements before graduating from cdl school. Hazmat endorsement is also important and many companies require it so they can haul more variety of loads. A hazmat load might be a load of paint or fingernail polish, etc.
    Here's an Old Domion Freight Lines team truck photo:
