Howdy!

Hey everyone, HELLBlLLY here introducing myself. Not actually a trucker, (not yet anyways), but real excited to become one. The idea had never really crossed my mind before but I've been scanning CL a lot looking for jobs to help supplement my income and it finally dawned on me that 2-3 of every 10 job postings were for CDL A drivers. That's when the bug took root and I've been doin' nothing but researching schools, looking at trucks, and browsing TTR and I gotta say that reading TTR has only "nurtured" the bug and made me want to become a trucker even more. As for me, I'm a Christian man, ( "HELLBlLLY" is more of an ironic moniker), 27 years old and have a 4 1/2 month old baby girl. Anything else you wanna know or if you just feel like talking let me know. I'm a pretty open guy.

KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON

 

Thanks for the welcome dogknot. I know it will be tough and that's why I'm gonna spend every minute at home holding my little girl and I'll have so many pictures I'll probably need a photo album! And yes, if I need to live without having other items, I'll always have room for pictures of my baby.

 

Thanks LLL. What school did you decide to go to? Private or through a company? I've been doing A LOT of research lately in schools and it seems like going through a company is a BAD way to go. Let me know your thoughts.

 

Definitely helps, I hadn't thought of getting a few previews first. Probably a smart idea for me. I have a decent job now. So-so pay, so-so benefits, but it's better than a lot of people right now and I was a little anxious about taking the risk of leaving it and praying that I would find a driving job.
