    Hello

    I am planning to start my CDL training, just after the first of the year. I am at this time researching to learn as much as I can about the business, and lifestyle. That is how I found this forum.

    I would like to get some opinions on the training you recieved and where you recieved it. I am looking at Sage in Idaho. Worried about getting into class and having to learn to drive ON SNOW, and ICE! Love it in my Bronco, not in a Tractor!

    Am building a plan, and learning from you guys.

    Be Safe!

    I did not research enough in the past. Failed to have a good plan, which the housing crisis would have f*^#ed up anyways. I am hoping to run as a company driver for a yr or more. Get some miles and exp. under my belt. Then look to lease or purchase a truck.

    Currently reading the WA state CDL guide, and accessing the training info on the CR England website FREE INFO !

    Well I applied for the WIA, attended the class today. They will be contacting me, however they said the limit was $1200. Leaves me a tad short! Credit is not good enough to get a loan. Put my 24' box truck up for sale.

    Not going to let this slow me down. I will find a way to make this happen:biggrin_25522:
    Im a determined SOB!
