    I have been reading posts from this site for a few hours. Could become my newest addiction. (nicotine and chocolate are the others). I have wanted to drive the "Big Boy" trucks since I was a little girl. I am going on my fifth year driving a school bus. My best friend drives one too. I brought up to her that we should team up and drive the open road on 18 wheels. She agreed. So now we are looking to upgrade our class B to a class A with all the endorsements. We could study the book and pass the written tests with ease. We could probably even get the wheels turning on the truck :) We are considering school training because it would be easier to get hired on. Any advise for us would be appreciated. Will keep on reading posts!!!

    Give expediting a try. You don't have to upgrade to a class A and it'll give ya the chance to see if ya like OTR or not.
