    Yeah, oh well. Don’t mind my whining (I don’t do it very often), trucking is a good profession.

    Check a local community college. Hit up financial aid and FASFA.

    I am going company training route. That route they will pay for it but you will be under contract... usually a year.

    It’s not 100% decided, but probably FFE. I’ve got a conditional job offer from them and I’m just waiting for the new year. If nothing changes then off to Lancaster I go.

    Haul their reefers for at least a year, maybe longer then take it from there provides I don’t roll my truck or drive off a cliff

    CFI is pretty good from what I hear. I talked with them too. But went more with FFE because reefers has more night driving.
