    Woah, hot thread coming through! 120 posts in under 6 hours.

    Clearly, this thread struck some nerves. Some of the behavior in here is getting rude and a few posts have had to be removed, so I'd ask that everyone take a moment and think over their posts before pressing submit. Let's just take it down a notch and keep away from personal attacks, please.

    You have been trying for 2 yrs and you can't become a trucker? I started truck school 6 weeks ago and just finished orientation at one of the top 5 companys to work for in the trucking industries. This is based on my 1 year reserching the trucking industry through this website an many others. Yes I paid for my school cash. when I finished I had 5 great pre-hires and all on my own, I didn't use the school to get pre-hires. If I wanted to apply at all the bottom feeders I could have had 10-15 pre-hires. Now granted my record is spotless. The school I picked was based on reserch also, I picked one of the top 5 schools again my opinion. So quit complaining and do something. Crowder Collage in Neosha MO is 3700.00 5 weeks and thats boarding, maybe food. No i didn't go there but a good school at that.......

    I think i said I get lisinopril rich_t.
    I have no idea what it costs, they send it to me from the VA hospital.
    It has been a true blessing.

    Naw... I make too much money to qualify.

    At least that is what I am assuming. I got turned down for a VA ID card last year.

    The only feed back I got was that I didn't qualify "at this time".
     
    wicked Thanks this.

    How much to ride your Time Machine??????


    Whats the 587 going to look like?



    Why dont you just pay for school and get on with your life instead of comeing on here and wining like a little kid......its not a scam, you pay money, they teach you a trade, then you get a job, and then you know what your new employer will PAY YOU BACK for the school!

    Atenolol is also used to control the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. That's what they put Nik on a couple of weeks ago until they get the testing done and treatment started.
