    Welcome to the forum, You are in the right place, Time flies by on here, I went to my Community College and now am headed to Prime Inc. In Springfield Mo. To start my driving career, Ask the questions, It feels like only last week that I got in a big truck to drive it for the first time, You are looking at a difficult life style change but it is what I have wanted for a long time. Read these threads and then read some more, There are some good info. Take the negativity with a grain of salt, Ask yourself what is wrong with that story? What would you do not to get into that story, There are a few companies I wuldn't send my worst enemy to but nt many, If you see a patern with certain companies stop by a truck stop in the afternoon when the trucks are starting to roll in from there day and befre they bed down for their 10 and ask them how there company is to drive for? Remember they may have just came thru a lg city where they spent 2 hurs to move 10 miles so take that into consideration, If the blinds are pulled in the cab leave that ne alone he may be at the end of his rest getting up in a few hurs to put another 600 miles under that load... Ask me anything you think I can answer, If I can't answer it then we will find someone else who knows, I have exactly 0 miles under a real load... LOL:biggrin_25525: But if I can help I will.
