    Like I said I have to do what I have to do, and if she sticks around or not so be it. I work at a company truck a box truck that I don't need a CDL for now and that's really where I found out I enjoy driving a truck so I might as well drive a real truck and make some money. Driving local right now is my goal but I don't think it would be much of a shock if after I get on the road that I was to stat otr and become a o/o but I might be getting ahead of my self for the time being.



    Either way thank you all for the great advice!!!!

    Yea that's pretty much what I'm gathering which is kinda nice because the school I was looking was a house from the house but I may just end up going to the one that's closer

    I went for the closest cheapest and the shortest. After only 4 weeks and $6000 got my cdl and heading to tmc on the 28th the hardest part was deciding where to go but hear great things about there training

    Thanks you too...I think the cost of live is a bit lower down here so maybe that has something to do with it
