First I want to say thank you to Chompi for my congrats.There was no way I was going to spend thousands of dollars to be trained for something I already knew how to do and have done before.I have always believed that there are always other options and where there is a will there is a way,sometimes it is better to take the road less traveled.Now for my update,I met with the owner op yesterday and we hit it of great.He showed me the truck (which he takes very good care of) and told me what he wants me to do before I even start it,He wants a real pretrip & my hat off to him for that.We are just waiting on paperwork now so just a few more hoops to jump through but he said he does not see any problems,so if all goes well I should be on the road in just a few weeks.My first run he is going to send another driver with me just to check me out,just good business I would do the same thing.This is a run I will be doing every weekend.In these two days I will be making more than I did at my forty hour a week job plus having the next 5 days off.To others out there in the same boat as me this is an option you might want to try just like Chompi & a few others suggested.I will keep updating as things progress,again I would like to thank everyone for their advice & help.Be safe out there & may God be your co-driver,Mark
