    Took getting retrained to realize it. My company codnt figure out why I was always late. I was told go with trainer or be fired. Went with trainer. 2nd Trainer knew what was wrong in a day. Trained me properly. Was never late again.

    Here is suggestion for you, however, it is totally your decision.

    Since you are from Baton Rouge Louisiana, you may want to find a good credit union, in Baton Rouge Louisiana, and sign up for direct deposit, that is if you haven't already done so.

    If you do find a credit union, you may want to be sure that it does online banking as well as in house banking. Also, you may want find one that has it's own credit card, (MasterCard or Visa), along with doing it's own in house credit card accounting, vs. going through a 3rd. party as in the case of many banks and credit unions.

    Perhaps a family member or your girlfriend can help you with this if you are currently on the road.

    Again, good luck to you! Drive safely!

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Another suggestion to expound on what he said above. I did a greendot money card from walmart. Works just like credit card. If you have direct deposit on it no annual fees. Can only spend what you have. Can reload it at truckstops and walmarts. Family can load money on it for you to. Only $3.00 fee to get money off. Cheaper then out of network atms.

    Thanks a lot man that's definitely great info & I will do that. Someone else told me that while I'm young I should save money & build my credit up. I appreciate this!

    I'm trying, sometimes it's hard to cram it into these guys. The rare few times I get someone I know who's eager and will be a good driver, make it worth it.

    Stinks, sometimes that's what it takes. I've gotten students other "trainers" have had. And just wondered what the #### was going on. Because some of the things are so basic and simple, but just never get mentioned. And if they have a good head on thier shoulders I fix the problem rather quick. Like some of the ways these guys have been taught to back , omg. But so far stupid things like Qualcomm Macros. What a freaking PTA is. I'm amazed at what things don't get taught or just never are.

    And sometimes, I can simply make a concept click the guy before me could not.

    Wife always told me it was "bite the heads and suck the tails," but maybe that's a 'woman thing!'
