Prospective new driver from Kentucky

Hey Y"all!

Driving a truck is something I've wanted to do since I was 19.....but allowed my family to talk me out of it. So here I am 26 years later...working in a factory and hating it. Then the lightbulb came on...kids are grown...house is empty...time to pursue my dream!

I'm studying for my CDL permit and researching night after night to find the best company that will train me. I've been reading through the forum boards and gleaned a LOT of information which will help me make what will hopefully be the best company for me.

Look forward to chatting with y'all.

Thanks Bikerdave.

Yeah...I've kinda seen where I will have to endure the ball and chain for my first year...but paying for school myself is out of the question I lasted as a manager in fast food for 15 years.....so 1 year with my starter company should be a breeze. LOL

 

Thanks.....Prime is actually my top choice right now.....I still have several more companies yet to review. I haven't checked CRST yet.

 

While the training time is important...I am also looking at the benefits such as rider and pet policies. I have a 15 year old son that is looking forward to being able to go on the road with me. And while my little sheltie thinks he's a pit bull.....I figure the sound of a dog barking when a lot lizard approaches my door should take care of the situation for me. My pit would be more protection...but I doubt most companies would allow a 60 pound "aggressive" breed.
