From where you're at right now,RonRon, and where you will be 3 months from now, will be a learning experience/adventure. One step/day at a time. Just focus on finishing school and learning everything you can. Put your heart and soul into it. The day you get a CDL from the DMV will be the best day of your life. You will want to hug the DMV examiner. But that is only the beginning. You will then have to find work and get experience. The adventure continues. You will post on this forum your adventures leading up to orientation and then you will disappear from here, never to be heard from again. Good luck.

I appreciate all of the feedback, positive & negative. And even if the industry is at an all time low, what isn't these days?!? I've worked for an insurance company for about 4 years now, and the grass just seems greener, well everywhere else... Thanks again.

one things for sure... i dont care what anyone says about the industry, its what ive always wanted to do my entire life, and its what im going to do. i dont care how bad it sucks, as long as i can get a job doing it, im fine.

When you buy a $5 footlong, have them put mayonaise and mustard on only half the sandwich so when you eat the other half for breakfast it isn't all squishy.
You can buy a 10 piece McNugget as a combo or you can get 20 piece McNugget and a medium drink for $0.20 more then you can have 10 McNuggets for breakfast.
This is the sort of stuff they won't teach you in school. But, it's possibly more important. -
Don't eat the hotdogs anywhere! They add inches to your waist!

I hear ya. I see some pretty big dudes out there. You have to be Intentional about your diet out there. Get the Coleman 12v fridge and the lunch box oven.
Stay away from the sodas and whatever you do .... get out of the truck and walk around.
I wish the school taught more about long-term tent living in the truck. -
A year minus a week has come and gone. Is freight at a 20 year low, or like the mail, is it rebounding? How (besides asking you good people) could have I looked this information up myself?
