    Hey smiles! Welcome to the forum. I'll echo the previous posts to make sure you do your research before you make a commitment. I'd like to add that it is a lifestyle change for you and it will also effect family as well. Make sure you and they are prepared for it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, hitch a ride with a family member or friend that drives and see what it's like. This forum will be able to help if you have questions so make sure to ask them.

    well im going to visit a local company that offers training and local and over the road driving. im also going to visit midwest truck driving school in escanaba and see what they have to say. probably take the day off of work on wendsday and do this.
    reading up on this site makes me a little leary of the big companies.

    Welcome to the forum, smiles! It's always good to investigate a new career before jumping into it. In addition to reading here, you may also want to talk to others you may personally know who drive.

    As you read the forum here, don't be afraid to ask questions. There are plenty of drivers -- newbies and veterans alike -- who are more than willing to share their knowledge. It's a great group -- so don't hesitate to speak up. We look forward to getting to know you!
