    Starting my new career in truck driving. Yesterday had my first lesson behind the wheel and got my D.O.T physical. Today was spent at the DVM getting my CDL permit to start driving big rig. Passed the general knowledge test with a 89%, the combination vehicle with a 99% and the air breaks with a 100%. By this time next year I will be behind the wheel. The only two company's I am looking at are Schneider and Prime. Living in so cal Schneider is the first choice.[h=3][/h]

    snowwy,

    Been there done that. I have been a commercial diver for 30 years. Diving is a young man field.
