    Hello everyone. I'm stewey. I'm another new guy here and I am looking forward to all your comments on questions, comments or concerns I have about the trucking industry. I am a current graduate of Eagle Truck Driving School of Lake in the Hills, Illinois. This is a career change for me stemming from my having gotten tired of the job chasing as a union carpenter for over 20 yrs. Trust me, I appreciate all that I learned during my time doing commercial carpentry. However, the work out there is next to nothing and I have responsibilities that require money. I have always had a sort of "back burner" desire to drive a truck since I was a young kid. So I guess I'm going to bring it to the "front of the stove" so to speak. So here I go...

    Welcome, I am also an out of work carpenter looking to get back in to a truck.
    Just remember the money will be no where near what it was swinging a hammer.

    Good luck

    @G/MAN No I haven't. I have 6 prehire letters that are on file at the school where I just graduated.
    @slim shady I know the money won't be the same but, anything's better than no money!
