First Post and prospective new cdl student

Hello everyone.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'd like to introduce myself to everyone and give you my bio. I'm a 38 yr old male living in Akron OH. This will be my last week working for my current employer ( want to know what I do, just look at my username ). What "my plan" is, after a couple weeks off and caught up on all my at home chores is to enroll in TDDS in Lake Milton, OH and start a career as a truck driver. There's a lot of reasons for the career transition but at the top of the list is
1. In a corporate Environment, at the age of 44, dying of a heart attack at my desk.
or
2. As a driver, at 44, having a heart attack in the sleeper of a truck in the company of lot-lizard
( In case the humor isn't apparent, the second part of that statement was a joke, unfortunately not the first part ).


So that's me in a nutshell.

 

Thank you Chinatown and RaceFan for the encouraging comments. I've been studying the threads and from what I see, Bulk is the way to go ( btw already have my passport ), newbies should avoid a Lease Purchase and don't take a dump behind your truck or else it may end up on Youtube. That's the gist of what I have been reading.
