1st post good question

I know when I was 20-1 I recived many tickets that year I checked my driving record yesterday ive got 10 points however 7 of them will come off in the next 6 months.Ive never had a accident just speeding on the highway doing 83 in a 70 or 80 in a 70 and the big one 57 in a 35 ,I was on a road I didnt know and the speed limit was 55 i must of missed the 45 because when that 35 came up on me i was hauling and the cop he knew the area and knew where to get a good speed at.but them tickets had racked up points over the years.My dads been driving truck 23 years.He told me to get my CDL because ive lost my job have a wife and kid and NEED to survive.He told me just go ahead and get it I have no criminal history I passed the drug test and physical is it worth still getting or am I just wasting my time because the points.

 

I owned my own lawn care landscapeing but since the market fell off people have just been cutting there own grass doing things themselfs to save money and allot of guys are going out like this.

There are allot of companys hiring for 13 dollars an hour around here,anything would help right now.My dad owns his trucks he told me to get my permit and drive with him for a few weeks even if I cant get a job RIGHT NOW like he said it will always be there in the end.Can I still take the test my license have never been suspended and because ive never had 12 points in a year period never really came close its just the 2 in 06 that got me still.Will they turn me down as far as the speeding thats the only thing that ive done wrong.

 

Dr V you are right about the citus season they hire ANYONE.I dont care how much they pay me right now I just need something ive got to do what ive got to do to make it.I wish the poor choices 3 years ago I made I could change.In 3 years I got married had a son start my own business and all was well untill last month Ive learned allot.I was more like a kid then,but a family changes you makes you wish somethings you did before you could change.I just need to make things right.

Will I need to attend a driving school? Ive been able to (drive) a rig around the farm since i was 14 years old and was hauling gravel around in the 7 alex mack at 16.( we lived in the corn fields).

My pops he is old school so all these changes and regs and rules he sort of knows about but he didnt have to pass no test like they have now a days.

He says he can teach me how to drive but as far as WHAT they want you to know,He said I might want to look into school.Once I get my permit does that mean I can drive with my dads company with my dad and rack up some hours or does that mean I can go to school and drive?

 

he lives in ohio I live in florida he was going to fly me up there for 2-3 weeks and put me in his seat while we run the gravel pits.Just to get some learning and hours in but Can i do that with just a learning permit.

He also has 2 big kenworths OTR trucks and a peterB he said I can learn with that one he wants to teach me trailer Dump and tank

 

He does dump trucks in the summer hires a few drivers for the summer months for OTR runs to mass and NY VT new england he has some contract with them all year round who ever it is up there.Then in the winter when the gravel pits freeze up and mud up he goes over the road and keeps the logs.He was telling me about the logs last night.He keeps them in a binder
