    You're welcome. I've probably smoked more weed than you've had hot dinners in your life, until I was 28 and came here to the US to drive - never touched it since, because CDL equals NO FUN, so I opted for the better income.

    Western Express is really bottom of the barrel (no offense to any drivers), but please look into every other option you can.

    And stick around here and share your journey - it helps others like yourself.

    Good luck.

    Oh - and remember, you've got a tough crowd here, just take what you need for advice and ignore what may ruffle your feathers.

    Lots of resources here.

    First - be kind.

    Yes I did -

    Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

    Translates to - "Don't get bent outta shape, just take what you need and go on"

    :)

    He can't be racist against you if he doesn't know what race you are. The term you're looking for is, "prejudiced" not racist.
