New wannabe

Hello everybody. I'm just a semi-retired, (no pun intended ) guy who has worked in a factory for most of my life and needing a change. Always wanted to be behind the wheel of a big rig because of stories my father used to tell me about his truck driving days. Kids are grown up now so am ready to give this profession a shot. Found a school and just got to figure out how to pay tuition.

 

I will be going through KCC, (Kankakee Community College) in Illinois. They are partnered with Premier CDL training services who will do the actual teaching. It's a 4 week course.

 

Thanks for the welcome and throwing some luck my way. I need to get back into the workforce after taking a break from working inside a factory most of my life. I've done a lot of research, (this forum is a wealth of information), and decided that this should fit the bill nicely in the stage of life I am in. Like anything new. I expect this line of work to be dificult at first until I get past the learning curve.
