if all companies are bad

Need to add : The noob driver wants to drive so he can see the country and all it's wonderous sites. Then realizes quickly that the lines on the road in Texas look just like those in Maine or California.

 

That's not true. The lines in Mississippi have rumble strips on them!

 

Some are born with diesel in our blood. My whole family drive trucks, buses or heavy machinery. I was always going to drive and as soon as I could, I did.

I got to a point where I had enough, and that was due to third party drivers and their ignorance or arrogance, but I didnt ask for pity or cry a river and the suggestion that thats how a new driver behaves is surprising. Must be different in the states, here its around $1800-$2500 to get your semi licence and not much cheaper for smaller, rigid, so to invest that money then you would want to be certain thats the job you want. Down here, if someone was to complain and carry on, the others would be on his back til he quit or had a mental breakdown. It gives you the ####s when someones constantly sulking.

 

So does Missouri and probably many more states.

 

Over here, it's more like $4000-$8000 for your CDL depending on which ripoff school one chooses. I've heard people claim they paid more than the $8k but I have never seen proof.

 

####! Thats robbery, you poor buggers.

Is that through a log book type lessons where you get signed off on certain skills or just jump in, drive and they assess you?

 

Well THERE IS a CDL Mill here that IS AT $10,000, but I think it is for about 5-6 months

 

I paid around $5,500 to get my A at roadmaster back in '07. It was well worth the investment.

 

I paid 3,600$, worth every penny.
