Why I Joined The Forum

Hi all! I joined the Truckers' Trucking Forum because of all the other forums I have looked at this is by far the biggest, best, and most diverse, experienced and non experienced individuals who really have a passion for the trucking industry and the people in it. So that is why I am going to hang out here during my new career change into the trucking industry.

 

I was at the pinnacle of my career as project manager for a large commercial construction firm and loved my position, career, and work. Then the downturn in economy,construction projects slowed, then halted. I was senior Project Manager earning a healthy salary and consequently laid off my position 3 months ago. One of my dreams early in life was to be an OTR driver. I graduated from College and went another route. Now that road has come to an end so destiny is calling! I graduated from Roadmaster In Columbus, Ohio Dec.24 2009. Got my CDL A license with haz-mat,tanker, doubles and triples endorsements. Sooooo... now I'm investigating companies. Stevens looks like they have the best training. The way I see it is a driver needs the best training out there and feel safe and confident in his/her ability to operate a tractor trailer in a safe and efficient manner. Stevens seems to focus on those key points in training. After the first year I do not know how they stack up with other companies. If anyone has any feedback please feel free to jump in!
