New in Oregon

Hello all,
My name is Isaac and I am going to be making a decision this month about wether or not to go to a local school and get my CDL. I have been reading this websight every chance I get for the last month or so. I believe I have what it takes to become a truck driver and also what it takes to "be" a truck driver. I need to make a decision this month because the school I am looking at starts Oct 3rd. I am going to keep reading, and in a couple of weeks I will know for sure. Any tips or advise will be greatly appriciated.

Thanks for reading
Isaac

 

It is IITR. I'm thinking Albany cause its close to my house.

 

Thanks everyone,
I am a contractor right now so I'v been working a day or two every week. The rest of my time i'v spent here reading and searching. Everything I come accross has been very helpful in my decision making. I had a plan all together as far as the direction I wanted to go in getting my CDL, and the company I wanted to start with. But today te buider I was working for told me he has an uncle who owns a long haul company and would possibly hire me if I got my permit. So now I dont know what to do. Any advice?
Thanks

 

So next week is the BIG decision. I am going to talk to my friends uncle hopefully mid week. He also said he knows the owner of a flat bed company close to my house that would possibly give me a shot if I got my permit. My neighbor, who is going to IITR too, is going to be back and we will be going down to IITR in Albany to check everything out. I will keep everyone posted about what I find, what I'm thinking, and what the final decision is.
Drive safe
Isaac
