    right now i am debating schools. my choices that i have narrowed down are trainco, hamrick and great lakes trucking. I am taking my time. I have already found out about some bad companies cr england is the biggest rippoff. That was first place I called. they told me unless I leased I would only get paid 12 cents a mile. told them fly a kite.

    Welcome to the forum Ruff. Good luck with trucking school. I hope your theme song won't become, as mine did, "Give Me 40 Acres And I'll Turn This Rig Around." I never did learn how to back properly - probably good I'm no longer on the road. LOL. I hope you enjoy the forum and the wonderful people you will meet here. Everyone is always glad to help. Keep us posted on how school goes and who you end up driving for. You'll get lots of good advice here.
     
    JustSonny Thanks this.
