trucking school

don't worry about your GED or HS diploma. You can always get the GED later. I got mine 3 years after high school.

If you have been open about the rest of it, don't sweat the little stuff.

 

have you thought about what you are going to do with your child while you are gone?

 

FFE looks back 3 years and allows 3 violations and 2 preventable accidents, so I'm thinking you shouldn't have to worry. If you are going to be behind the wheel of a huge truck, then I think it's time to start driving like a grown up, don't you think? No need to endanger other people. At least make sure you are driving for a company that regulates your speed...

 

what do you mean you have "been assigned",its a free work place you are enterining into so YOU pick the company,send your stuff out there to some others that you are interested in and pick from there

 

You will hear good and bad about almost every company. Unfortunately people are much faster to complain and whine than to compliment. I've heard terrible things and great things about FFE, but they have treated us decent so far. No matter where you go, you are starting at the bottom and having to prove yourself. If you consider some of the degenerates these companies see, you can understand why they are negative toward new drivers. I'm not saying that it's right, just understandable. Just keep positive, have some dignity and respect and work hard. Eventually they will see that you are a valuable asset and things will get better. As far as the GED, if you are starting a trucking career and planning to stay with it, why bother? I have a college degree and it makes me no better than you. We are both just drivers trying to feed our families and enjoying the open road.
