    Awesome advice. I have heard a lot of stories about what it's like to have to bring those things on your own....or not have them at all. I'll check them out.

    That was my gut feeling...I'll start applying in the near future. Just trying to walk a fine line between not wanting to oversell myself while also getting hired. We only drive within a 50 mile radius in daycabs so there's a lot we haven't experienced.

    Don't worry, you won't be on your own to run the roads until a company feels satisfied you're ready. Your trainer will prepare you. Don't overthink this.

    Exactly what I needed to hear. Overthinking things is my specialty unfortunately…
