    Yea crazy I agree. When I go back they gotta get me another hotel and bus ticket. It would be nice to get just a little practice prior if they would allow that. Oh well.

    Im sure they do. Honestly I have no issues on the streets. It's those darn skills tests.
    same deal at the DMV. Failed my first skills by 1 point didn't get to the road. Next day only 5 points skills and whipped it on on the road only 7 points. I think I psyche myself out over the skills. I don't even worry about the road part, im comfortable with it.

    Try this company : Navajo.com

    They have a real good website with online application.
    There's a terminal in Chino, CA (looking at their terminal map)

    If you have your CDL JBS Carriers will fly you to Greeley, CO and put you with a trainer. Give recruiting a call and see if they will accept those misdemeanors. 1866 298 4573 Press 2 for drivers and 5 for recruiting. Good luck.

    Take your time and get out and look. That's all. Let someone else go first so you can see it.
