    Hard to find funds these days without waiting months upon months... Imma go with Millis it makes the most sense at this point seems to be a solid company. Not gonna say prefect but solid

    whole process took me about 3 weeks, but I understand you are eager to start. good luck to you. once you get 1 month first seat exp you can go to averitt as a student, or 4 for only the refresher course. i'm enjoying it with them.

    Swift's school in Richmond is pretty decent. You don't have to work for them after if you don't want. No cost up front.

    You sure you want to be a trucker? You're gonna end up in plenty of places you won't like, lol.

    It's 3-4 weeks not forever. Anyways good look!
