    Good Luck Wedge

    Guess I could've given you my spot at Millis since I decided not to use it at the time. :biggrin_25523:
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    That sounds cool wedge. At least working with robots and constuction you have a good idea how things move and work. I kid around with my Dad because he knows what it takes to support a big rig on a bridge but he wouldn't know how to drive over it.:biggrin_25524:
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    Originally Sept 6th.

    Moved it to October 4th

    then decided to put things off to the first of the year due to financial situations.

    We'll see where I end up going when the time gets here. Good luck to ya and keep us posted. :)

    By September I was waiting on the WIA.

    When the Millis gig didn't happen, I took a couple of steps backward and evaluated how I wanted this career to go down. Being forced to remain with an outfit for a year so I wouldn't owe them any money just didn't seem to sit well. What if the company turns out to be totally screwed? I'd have to ride it out.

    How long I stay with a company should be my choice, not theirs. :yes2557:

    I'm not going to job hop, anyway. I'll put in my time. :biggrin_255:

    Thanks for surfacing. I was wondering what happened to you.

    I'll keep posting throughout my training. It'll give you something to read. :biggrin_255:

    Thanks for the support, AT. I truly appreciate it. :biggrin_25514:
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    I know what you mean there. I'm hoping to do the same. Find a company I want to stay with rather than do a year or two and leave.
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    Which private truck driving school will you be attending? Please keep us posted about your experiences while there and your assessment of the school. It will be very helpful to those of us who are shopping for a school.

    All the best to you!
     
    Wedge Thanks this.
