    I've been over hill and over dell for about 6 months on the forum. I've looked at every angle (I think), I've read sage words of advice from old hands, newbies and fellow wannabes alike, I've followed the adventures of wannabes and newbies who have gone before me, I've been uplifted, laughed at, edumicated, knocked down a notch or three, I've gone to truckstops and observed you guys and gals at work, I've even talked to a few of you, I've talked to recruiters, friends and family and now...... well now I'm 'bout to find out if I fit anyone's mold. I've been in an application frenzy. I've applied to carriers that I wouldn't recommend, carriers that don't meet my high standards (pfffffft), carriers that I know wouldn't give me a second look if I offered to finance their operation for a year or so (settle down ladies, no sugar daddy here, I only have delusions of adequacy) and now.....well, now it's time to stand pat or draw, fish or cut bait, #### or get off the pot! Kid in the candy store, I don't think so....oh well, we'll see.

    Yeah, I've still got the school thing to do but I think that's the least of my worries, least as far as the classroom stuff is concerned. The driving and operation part, hmmm, not ####ed and sure about that.

    To every one of you who has been a part of getting me to this very important part of the journey.....from the bottom of my heart, I thank you!

    Be safe! Oldnew....

    I never thought in a million yrs, that I could pass the CDL test, or even drive for that matter.. But you have the desire, to learn, and make it work for you.. With that you should have no problems becoming a truck driver and being successful at it.. Good luck and hope to hear your about your progress.. Take care and good luck.
     
    JustSonny Thanks this.
