    Hello!
    Glad i found this forum. I use to drive otr back in 1987. had to stop do to family issues. been working in the carpet cleaning bussines since. 18 years with one co. The rest with the co. i'am with now.
    Love my job, just burned out on it. so as soon as i have enough money banked to pay for school (comunity collage) and pay the bill's while in training. I will be back on the road hopefuly. The co. I work for the owners son inlaw ownes a trucking co. here in Greenville sc plus I have a couple of client's that own trucking co.s so maybe I will get lucky and not have to start with a training co.

    wish me luck! Larry:yes2557:

    Hey Larry and welcome! With those kinds of connections you might not need school at all, particularly if one of the friends will have one of their drivers bring you back up to speed. Good luck and stay in touch with us!

    No, I did not graduate from there. I went to school in Charlotte, N.C. You can use our Search feature to help you to research them.This is an intense program with extensive equipment. Several companies, that require 2 years of experience, will hire the graduates from this program. I will be glad to help you with what I can. You can call James at the school directly also. Best of Luck!

    Larry - Welcome to the forum. You're in a great place in Greenville. I'm just over the mountain from you in NC - have often considered moving down to the lowlands down your way. Greenville has a lot to offer, other than the heat that is. Glad you have joined us here.
