    I wanted to introduce myself

    I started driving class b in late 99 for a local water company and I decided it wasn't for me about 2 years later of heavy lifting, forced sales, and low pay. I left driving and went municipal to a city job maintaining the 30 schools in the district. Pay was good and benefits were great until the unions got greedy and guys with under 10 years were laid off At the time I was only there 8 years. Since then I've bounced around crappy go no where jobs from driving dump trucks for low pay to present day at a go no where job maintaining a recycling facility and its equipment.

    I have missed driving the past few years and decided that I was tired of the crap I've been putting up with and decided I want to go out on the road again wail I'm still young enough to do it.

    I lurked around the board for a few weeks reading posts and learning what everyone has to say about who to avoid and the like.
    I am currently looking at companies that offer apprenticeship because I cant afford the 4-6k that local driving schools charge for a class a

    I look forward to talking with people here and learning all I can and making new friends on the way
    Thanks
