So, as one of the previous posters stated... they wanted to know if I would quit to come on and explain why.
So, I know there have been a lot of people rooting for me on here and I appreciate the support! I want to start out by saying that. Now then; with that being said, I’d like to say that I have quit CFI on a good note. Atleast from what I understand anyway... There is no bad blood between me and the company. When I first started on this journey I really was not sure what I was getting into. I figured that it would be close to a same schedule daily for sleeping habits, and found out real quick that was not the case by any means. That on top of the food at the Love’s stations all over were the same thing over and over... after 3 days I was trying to find anything new.
A friend of mine that I met in school all the way up through orientation and going to Joplin to wait on our finishers told me “This is a lifestyle, not just a job. It’s not for everybody!”. She was totally right!
As for training. My trainer was very respectful and taught me quite a bit while I was with him. Nothing bad there.
Time away from home... again, by speaking with my finisher and a few people here and there... in order to make any real money I’d have to be out for 2-3 months minimum. With my 2 year old son and wife’s health issues, I just don’t think that I can do that.
There’s more I’d love to talk about and maybe in future posts I will. However, I wanted to come on here and say that I have even more respect for all OTR Driver’s than I already did! Thank you all for the encouraging words and I will keep everyone abreast of what happens with my future!

Lmao my new dash cam came in and this thing is soooooo small but according to reviews I've read it's going to be a good find for it's price. Especially considering it can do more than the top of the line Garmin and randmcnally

Uploading a short clip to YouTube for you guys soon if your interested in the dashcam so you can see it's quality. I'm very impressed with it for only 44$. And the best part is the mobile app to view and download your clips etc..
