Contemplating a career change

According to the admissions person I was speaking to, they have 2 of the 7 registered for the June class from WIA out of NC. She didn't go into details as to how long they were in the WIA system before they were able to enroll. As I am sure you know, classes start every 6 weeks, so waiting is not the end of the world by any means. And your point about alternative schools is well taken.

Why would the CDL testing in SC be any different than NC?
-and-
I am supposed to call Drivers Solutions today at 1:30 to keep that ball rolling....should I make that phone call or work the WIA angle first?

 

Near as I can tell, Drivers Solutions is a head hunting company that finds companies willing to train you on a pre-hire basis. I am not sure exactly where they are located, but I am pretty sure they are on the east coast.
I will forgo the call to them. Not just for the reasons you mentioned, but mainly because I am still so early in this process to pull the trigger without getting all of options in line.

 

A couple more questions:
10 MVR- I have lived in SC, NC and IL during this 10 year time period. Do I need to contact all three states for this record or will SC be able to go back the full 10 years?

On the pre-hire stuff you were referring to, are you saying I should still work on this at this point(i.e. still work with Driver Solutions)

And thanks for the Crist website info, already working on this.

You rock Kickin Chicken! Thanks for all of your help, I hope you are getting paid well!

 

Help one another...you have done nothing short of this and it is appreciated. I will keep you posted on the NC WIA route as I am already swapping emails with them.

 

For anyone following this thread, I didn't call Drivers Solutions back, they ended up calling me. I told my contact about where I was in this process(2 weeks removed from a job and gathering my options) and she was very receptive to this. It was funny how when I mentioned this site, her reaction was "a place where people can go and bash trucking companies". I told her that does in fact take place, but my experiences on here have been nothing but positive.

Anyways, my application with them is on hold for 90 days, and I am free to contact them again to move forward with their proposed plan at anytime during this time.
