Decided to go with Stevens

Good luck, hope it works out well for you. Im leaving to head to school this coming weekend myself.

 

Bamamac, Corporal Clegg,

Good luck to both of you. Please keep us posted on how your training goes.

 

Corporal....I am also considering Stevens....could you tell me how it went for you and the process...very interested in knowing all you care to share..good numbers to you ...ASF

 

Hoss, you ain't gonna believe this, but that crazy sombitch just tried to drive right up under my truck!
gotta love those quotes...anyways new to the discussion i am considering a career in trucking..have several years of experience driving taxis straight trucks...everything except a commercial vehicle...as mentioned before...I have read many pros and cons and decided to do it. I would appreciate both positive and negative feedback on any advice anyone but new and experienced drivers could give me.

 

read thru all the posts in Aviary. That will give you a lot of good advice.

appreciate it very much..I imagine in may ways trucking is like cabbing except with the random stabbings.....I was stabbed a few years ago while in my cab.....I drove mainly out of the Philadelphia metro area....

 

Best place to read of my adventure is ...

very informative CPL. I apprecaite the feedback...btw I have read elsewhere on this forum that it's suggested to politley ask the recuriter about doing a full BG/DL check on you before being sent to Dallas...you thoughts on that?

You can ask, but doubtful they will do it. Theres alot of paperwork you fill out when you get to the school, and some of that paperwork gives them the info and the permission to do that deeper digging. Really though, unless your hiding something you dont really have anything to worry about.

One thing I would suggest, go to your local DMV/DPS or whatever they call it in your state and ask them if there are any holds in any state that would keep you from getting a CDL. There can be holds that you have absolutely no idea about. Its usually easy to get it fixed, but nice to know ahead of time.
