    It might be everywhere because I talk to a guy at a gas station every Friday morning and he sayd they go through 2 or 3 a month.

    I think I would like it, I used to do minor food service like cigarettes tobacco, chips, candy, oil, we drove Sprinter vans though. My grandpa got put in the hospital and I had to miss work and got fired though.

    We do hire driver trainees but very seldom in my division the only two we have had already had a cdl but didn't have any experience they had gone to one of them guys that you pay 500 bucks and he takes you out in a automatic m2 with a gooseneck trailer and you can pass real easy but come out of it not knowing how to drive with a darn.
    I got mine through the beer company which was always hiring guys with permits in my last year there is was in charge of training all them guys I'll have to say I kicked a few guys out of the drivers seat of my truck lol

    The 500 dollar test... no that guy has that thing rigged he knows what days the testers do which skills... he teaches you just exactly how to pass not how to drive it's scary to think there are people out on the road with cdls because of that joker. Now as for guys we trained at the beer company sure some of them failed but in the end they all passed eventually

    The $500 guys sounds like he has a nice little scam going on there.

    His website needs major updating though it's stuck in the 1990s and needs a major face lift. I'm kind of amazed he's not in the website business as well.

    What the Hell kind of truck can you learn to drive in 7.5 hours? It took me 2 weeks to get the feel and backing down of a large Box Truck.
