    The long awaited school days have arrived! Although it has been a few months wait it was worth it!. I begin my training at Fox Vally Tech. this coming Monday. As some of you may remember my wonderful state of Wisconsin is footing 100% of the schooling costs for me. I feel going to school this way is better then ether paying for it myself or signing up with a company to get them to pay for it. The classes have LONG hours 12 hours a day 5 days a week for 10 weeks! but I will have close to 300 hours behind the wheel time at the school. I have to wonder what 10 weeks away from the menopausal wife and staying at the Hampton INN will be like (FUN?) we shall see! LOL. I am sure I will learn more then just going to a 3 week study at one of the "mills" type schools!. Anyway, I will check in and keep everyone up on my training and graduation!. You all watch out! I may be backing up in your neighborhood soon!

    Congratulations and welcome to the wild, wonderful and often truly wierd world of trucking. Sounds like you picked a winner for schooling but you ain't seen looong hours yet. :biggrin_2559: Before you know it you'll be an "old fart" an just az smart as I are.:biggrin_2559: Suggest you get you a little notebook and write down all the "Reasons I wanna be a Trucker" innit. Will come in handy for entertainment a couple years down the road when you're banging your head on the truck and saying "What the hell am I doing here?".:biggrin_2559:
