    I'm still a newbie myself and just finished getting my class A. In my very limited knowledge, I would suggest you look into Schneider.

    Sorry, based on the mention of college, I thought that you might have finished. :biggrin_25520: Which might not be the worst idea, in and of itself.

    However, knowing now, that you don't like formal education such as College. Is much better than having wasted the time and money for an education that you ultimately won't use.

    A persons reasons for wanting to drive are, at least to me, personal and not up for debate by anyone.
    Though knowing if you have the right reason is better than jumping in, and than jumping out later when something better\different comes up.

    I have actually been talking with my recruiter from CRST He seems really cool,i know thats his job is to be that way and reel all the candidates in that they can. He explained everything really clearly and answered all the questions I asked really fast and with what I already knew were correct answers. I ask a couple questions that I already know the answer to and see how they answer. Old trick but still works.

    From what He told me It seems to be a pretty decent starter outfit to get some experience and not great ,but also not the worst, pay. It looks like all I have to do now is find my birth certificate, and find a couple hundred dollars to help me make it through training.
