    Just saying hello all i am new here and trying to figure somethings out with life since got fired from my old job when i got into a motorcycle accident and i have come to realization that i dont want to stay working in a factory the rest of my life unless i got into jeep(which wouldn't like but the pay is good). With the area i live in i am sure there are plenty of jobs.

    Where do you live? Are you wanting to get into trucking?

    Most companies will shy away from you with that back injury.
    You will need a no-touch freight company such as Ozark Motor Lines, but that will require a CDL school first. Talk to the unemployment office about CDL school; some states pay for it.

    i'll have to ask, which that is questionable to begin with. since so far unemployment has refused to pay me at all. also got the okay from the doctor to return to full work dutys as well.

    Check with the local Dept. of Labor about paying for CDL school if the unemployment office won't cooperate.

    CRST runs teams and will train you for an 8 month obligation. Sometimes we just have to take the route that works for us; the best route for me may not be what's best for you & visa versa.
