    Oh you're gonna have a fun time for sure if that's all you've been too lol. North Carolina does A LOT better than South Carolina with the roads. What are your plans after Cypress?

    Yeah man, I wanted to drive a Food-Grade Tanker, I already have my Tanker endorsement, and joining Cypress was just to get my experience, after 6 months, I'll see if I can get with Indian River out of Winter Haven Fl, I want to drive a Tanker locally, in the distant future when I'm done with OTR, why not get Tanker experience now, so that's where I'm at. Cypress does have more options than Indian River though. Indian River, last time I talked to them, you get one day off for every week you are out, and if you want more than 5 days consecutive off, management has to approve it. With Cypress, you can be home every week, every two weeks, stay out, do Florida-Only if you only want to stay in Florida and they even have some local lanes, so when you think about it, they have some great options, I would've do 2 years with them if only they didn't have the freaking Front-Facing camera inside the truck watching me like a hawk LOL!!

    Yeah, man, I get it though, the owner wants to protect himself. I was in a hurry to get a job and they were the only one that were giving me a chance at the time, but yeah that's my plan, can't wait to get my experience and bounce, gotta finish my training first.
     
    Ryan0077 Thanks this.

    I get it, I got my CDL on Tuesday and went after whatever came first (well second now lol). I needed money asap and wanted the experience asap too. How much longer you got in training?
