    Did you do this on your own or were you at a school.

    Either way the enthusiasm you have is refreshing

    Just because you're a new driver doesn't mean you'll get tickets or accidents, I started as a student 7 years ago and haven't had a ticket or an accident yet.
    The thing I do is never get in a hurry, most accidents or incidents happen when you're trying to hurry.
    Take your time and be safe.

    Now, the big challenge ahead of you is finding a company willing to put you to work.

    It does behoove one to make himself as marketable as he can. :)

    I am really looking forward to start driving and nervous at the same time. I should start a blog. :) :)

    I'm glad you got your Hazmat endorsement. As an example where I work, it's worth about $4-6,000 in more pay by way of higher pay and a slight increase in miles by being put on lanes that require the endorsement wether or not Hazmat actually gets shipped. Just have to be selective with who you decide to work for with this endorsement.
