May I ask what state you live in and what school it was? Where would I get grants and scholarships for trucking school? That would be a huge help...
Most of what you listed is fine with me. I'm a light sleeper though and appreciate quiet while I'm sleeping. Are there quiet places out there...
If you don't mind, I have a few other questions. Why is Colorado not the best place for trucking, and what states are better? I'm 58 and I've...
You are absolutely right. Our country does not take care of its own people. But no other country does either. It seems to be human nature to...
That does sound like a better plan than paying lots of money with no guarantees. I've also read that the companies that train you don't train you...
I would hope so. I'd hate to get into a situation where I feel like I have to come up with a lie for everything because the truth isn't...
If I told the truth and said I was trying to start a business which did not take off, wouldn't that be okay? Or like @Chinatown said many truck...
I'm looking for recommendations for CDL-A schools in or around the Denver area.

I live in Colorado, south of the Denver area. Right now I'm doing some research on becoming a trucker. I was a software engineer for years until...
If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about asking the awkward question of whether they do hair tests?
I do have older stuff on my driving record. Most of it is pretty old and not serious, mostly minor traffic violations, although I did get a DUI in...
No, I was on vacation. I went to Shelter Cove California for several days, a mostly vacation home town in one of the most remote areas of the...
How old does a speeding ticket have to be before it won't be an issue in getting a CDL-A? I have a speeding ticket from August 2019 (almost 5...
If you wait 6 months to test clean on a hair test, do you have to cut your hair too? Does being clean remove the evidence from existing hair? I'm...
