    Hey folks, I've been lurking on this forum for a couple of days now, and figured I should go ahead and say hello, and introduce myself. I was a driver a couple years ago, and due to a few rookie mistakes and a company that liked to take advantage of rookies... I've gotten a nice 3 year break from the industry. As times are rather tough everywhere, I figured it's time to try and put my CDL back to use, and put some food on my plate so to speak. I have to say, this forum has given me TONS of info that I wish I'd seen before my first romp through the industry.

    Thanks Gears! Yeah, I definitely know what you mean about taking some of this with a grain of salt. Seems like no matter where you go, or how nice a silver platter stuff is served up on, someone's gonna ##### that it's only silver plated, but that's par for the course.

    Hey Devilman... you sound an awful lot like someone I know. You him?

    If so... good seeing you on here man. :) I created an account today to track that other buddy of mine who's in trucking school. He's got a whole thread he's using as a journal.

    -------------

    [edit]

    Heh, just saw your other posts about going with England. Now I know it's you; the similiaries are far too close. Good seeing you here. :)

    -------------

    Or maybe not, just called him up and he said he'd not joined any trucker forums in 24h. Wow.

    Crazy world. :)

    LR - Either way, good to know ya man. I'm tryin' to learn all I can to try and make myself "marketable" again in the industry, but with the stuff I've been hearing from companies lately, I may just have to keep beggin' for a job til I run out of breath.

    RNR - Thanks for the welcome!
