Because As of 5 months ago, my uncle(Who lives with me and my grandparents who has a medical condition needs to be taken care of and my Grandparents are old, and I don't want him to be a burden as he is to me; So We (Me and My Uncle) Agreed that If he doesn't find a place and a nurse to take care of him within the days remaining (187 Days) then he will go into a nursing home or a permanent housing with nurses. I could go into more detail but for his privacy and mine i will not.
I will start applying to local jobs like walmart, Target, Kmart etc etc and try to get into a 'warehouse or fork lift or a unloader/loader etc' or maybe even a driver position.

LOL. That's the main reason I wanted to go into trucking also. I always liked seeing nice Peterbilts and Kenworths with chrome and loud pipes. -
Yes Sir
I've called around, Swift and Prime needs you to be 23 Years old I guess; It's only 21 if you have been the in service; So I'm thinking about Werner or CRST (Have to call CRST and find out what they require).. Werner said Volunteer Expierence is A OK; So Most likely going to be with them for a year or two then switch off to another company. Not to sure yet; -

Try Roehl and Millis Transfer in WI. But bot all of Roehl's trucks have APU's and they have very strict idling policies so it will sucks in hot weather.

I briefly read all your posts (original OP). Are you planning on attending school or what ? Are you paying for said school ? If so, go now and get your CDL NOW, and then worry about a job next year.

most companys will not take a student past 30 days out of scholl with no experience and would probably need to take a refresher course. at least that is what i've been told from one.
