    Conestoga trailers are a specialized segment of trailers developed with security, versatility and protection from the elements in mind. Conestogas feature a retractable tarping system spanning the length of their decks and can haul a maximum of 44,000 pounds.

    Wow. Those fails sound like a lot of lack attention to details. Not to mention trying to rush through without being prepared.
    I guess they are the same thing.

    Those traits will not serve you well in this industry.

    I agree 100 with what you are saying. So is there any difference between people w who've just got their CDL and those who are yet to get it?

    Keep it simple; just start over with a reputable company and you'll do fine and make a good living.

    The fact that you are agreeing with me that you lack attention to detail and are trying to rush things through is worrying enough.
    But that you would ask if there is a difference between people with those traits based on if they had a CDL yet...?

    That is like asking if your mindset suddenly changes when you turn the magical age of 18, or maybe 21.
    The answer is no.
     
    Jaycich Thanks this.

    • Non-Credit Fast Track program / Average completion 3-4 weeks
    • Results in obtaining a Class A CDL and certificates of completion from Lone Star College and Stevens Transport
    • The upfront cost for tuition, fees, and supplies is paid for by Stevens Transport - students must agree to work for Stevens

    I just thought the hotel and food would in some way get paid for for myself. Feel like nothing in life is free. I'm only trying to do best for myself. I've been wrong before. Maybe I'm wrong now.
