Starting School Monday....

First two weeks done, Cdl permit in hand with tanker and hazmat tests done this morning, hopefully getting school done on time. School, so far so good...

 

Lol, as with all of the northerners that I know that move down this way, you are gonna love it. Just went and got fingerprinted today for my hazmat, and was told it takes a month to get back....oh joy....about two more weeks of school left, started my observation time yesterday in truck...liking the school and the new people I am meeting, good luck to you!!!!

 

I had no issues taking all of the tests for permit, hazmat and tanker before I went, guess its different here in NC. My issue is with the goobers that answer the phone when you call for an appointment for enrolling with TSA. They told me that you HAD to have an appointment, so I got one for mid January. Then, I find out they take walk ins at the enrollment location, so that cost me a week or so. Heck, the whole thing only took ten minutes or less, so I wondered what the big deal was. Just shows yet again, that when the gubmint is involved, no one knows what the heck is going on, just make things happen for yourself.

Yep, fingers crossed the particular carrier I am hoping to work for takes me, because of one small blurb on my driving record. Hoping a little initiative looks good to them versus a small bump up three years ago. Heading out in morning to speak in person to that companies recruiter for that division, maybe that will bear fruit, we will see. Thanks man, keep it between the lines headed this way!

 

One reason I wanna go OTR for at least the first year is hopefully get to see your neck of the woods again, I was at Fort Lewis in 83 to 85...

 

I was looking at Google Earth and saw it has changed dramatically out there since last I was out that way but would still be awesome to visit
