    Its all good, I left end of April if I recall because I started school the second week of may. I basically never stopped once for a break I left end of April went to school May-July and a week after I graduated school im now back lol, I guess you can say I didn't skip a beat.

    Yup I got my cdl with only 1 point on the test(I forgot to turn the healights on lol). I absolutely enjoyed my 10 week course, got to learn how to drive 10spd, 13spd, and 18spd. I learned how to back a 48ft, 53ft, flatbed, and tanker. I'm actually happy I had to go to a tech school for my CDL tbh(even though paying for school twice sucks), it was a great learning experience and will help me when it comes time to be solo.
     
    Waterboy334 and Steelersjunkie Thank this.

    That's awesome man. Tech school is a good route. Typically speaking the training is longer and much more in-depth. Sounds like yours was exactly that. So cool. I guarantee you that'll come in handy much sooner than later. I'm so happy to see that everything worked out for you. You're a good dude, man. I enjoyed hanging out with you, hopefully we can do that again some day :)
     
    JoshG210 Thanks this.

    Sounds great! We'll have to get that figured out once you're solo. I'll be either fully or partially dedicated in a couple days but I can still break off and go wherever if I get a little notice.
     
    JoshG210 Thanks this.

    It's a good life man. I doubt I'll be here forever but I'm enjoying my time so far at Landstar. I love it. If you have my number stored, hang on to it. I've learned triple in the last 4 months with them than I did in my first 20 months in trucking. It's a way different world. Plus, you'll be looking for conversations to kill time while you're rollin' down the road. I can help you get some solid footing on this side of the fence. And I can help you pass some time while you're on that side :) If you need my number again, shoot me a pm. I still have yours.

    I still have your number saved, well when the time comes I'll know who ask for help. But dude that's awesome that youve been able to grow and learn in such a short amount of time and im sure it's less stressful since you don't have all the safety nannies haha.
