    "Don't forget about that high quality orange vest"

    I guess all drivers required to wear safety vests?...when are they required?

    Lowe's and Fred Meyer warehouses require safety vests.

    Georgia-Pacific makes us wear plastic safety goggles that pinch.

    Costco makes you sing karaoke.

    Nothing to be nervous about like I said before they want you to succeed it's all super simple. You'll do it we all did.

    Yea I hear you blwjr!
    wife hates to see me go..I kinda` dont wanna be gone from family but...gotta earn my stripes somewhere since most if not all local co insurance`s want at least 6mos to 1-2ys exp before they`ll even consider me for anything local,

    the way I see it I`ll be trained(plus get paid for it) properly behind the wheel /otr & all aspects of trucking....as opposed to just being trained in truck school mill to pass dmv test to get my cdl...I`ve driven a few rigs locally for limited times since getting my cdl & thinks its ####### to drive a big rig!

    May is requiring me to get a refresher cert which is 400 .... which I don`t really have, aside from putting on cc,
    but recruiter said they have tuition reimburse & once solo I will get back 150 monthly til paid up
