    Ok, you finished Millis School, completed your 15000 miles with your trainer, tested out and now have your own truck and are going solo, What was your biggest surprise? What was your biggest disappointment? What made you glad you chose this profession?

    Oh, this ones easy. Biggest surprise, it's not as easy as it sounded. Biggest disappointment, your paychecks, of course, and you should be glad, you had a mission, of sorts, and followed it through. Remember, it takes time to get the good loads. You'll learn quick.

    Only 15K? You just had a taste.

    Both surprise and disappointment for some is when they are fired or dismissed for a preventable accident that cost 100 dollars in damage within 3 months....
