    I have some savings back but $300 a week on the road sounds very very bad! IF this is true then I've got some serious re-thinking to do!

    You don't have to be unemployed, I don't think. I don't have enough posts to msg you and I'm not sure if the rules in putting names and such here however, give the office at 2525 N. Shadeland Ave a call and ask for the Educational Skills Specialist. They will be able to get you going.
    Good Luck!

    To the OP, what gives with your avatar and name? Surprised no one has mentioned it. Just curious, enlighten me. I'm old and want to keep up with the times. Or maybe not in this case

    You can make over a thousand a week in tankers after your training period is complete.

    DOT Foods in Cambridge if you are within 100 miles. They have a paid school program that's partnered in that state. MSG me if you want company pay and benefit info.

    LOL! Yes I too am surprised no one has motioned it! The low down is that I was trying to find something unique that fit me... I've been called freak by friends and well I'm married (plus I'm looking to drive company trucks right now) so there's the leash! Maybe later in my career I'll own my own truck then Ill change my name to freak off the leash aha!
