Hello!

New to the forum and completely green to trucking. I am looking forward to scouring minds and posts for information pertaining to OTR trucking, the life, the companies with values and integrity, etc. This is a big decision for me whether to pursue my CDL and get into trucking and I would like to arm myself with some solid information and some solid friendships before I jump right in.

With that, Hello! all around.

Semper Fidelis,
Geo

 

Thanks for the Welcome everyone!

# Kinghunter: The nearest private school for Trucking is 1 1/2 hours away and can take quite some time, or so I am told. Given this, I was looking at a company that sponsors schooling.

Now for the first of my kickers, I know NOBODY who is into trucking so my sources of information personally, are limited. There really aren't any "Truck Stops" per se in this area. A few gas stations to refuel are about it. Hence, my registering for this site.

I have started to check out some company sites for some information. Let's face it though, they can glam and luster a website and make themselves look / sound professional, but until you get into the thick of it, you really don't know what they are all about. I did happen to meet a driver for Roehl at my current place of employment and he was cool enought to answer some of my newbie questions, which was cool, but there is a lot more info and are a lot more opinions out there.
