I am planning to take a course at my local community college and pay for it myself. You know after four decades I probably couldn't back my ### into a double spot at a truck stop. So I definetely need plenty of work and miles before I buy my own rig.
I am married and my wife is looking forward to going on the raod with me a few of the spring and summer months each year. I plan to stay west of the Mississippi and be mostly regional. I've driven enough in the NY Tri-State area to know that I definitely don't want to be doing that gig.
Thanks so much for the input.
JP
A little feedback, please!

I hope that all goes good for you. My wife knows the deal and won't even get in the truck to help me clean it.
I went to an independent school
I got a gig with a company that doesn't advertise (much)
I landed a job typically reserved for experienced drivers
I, not the school, was MY placement department
I'm not complaining
If YOU work for it you can get a decent gig with a company that treats you pretty well. I know this to be true.Jimmy P Thanks this. -
You must be reading my mind. I plan on attending a local community college to obtain my CDL. After 4 decades I probably couldn't back my ### into a double spot at a truck stop. So, I definetely need to be retrained and get some miles behind me before buying my own truck.

Thanks for the input. It is greatly appreciated!

It will all come back to you in no time at all. Like riding a bike, right? There are plenty of good companies out there. You probably know enough to stay away from the mega-carriers. A good mom and pop company or even an owner operator that needs a driver. Good luck to you!
