    Ha! There's a pretty significant difference in doing things where no choice is present and doing things because of personal choice. I learned that very quickly in the military lol. I can roll with the punches if i absolutely have to man lol.

    My schneider tanker trainer had an incident on first day.
    He was a good guy, funny, we got along.
    He was coming in with a loaded hazmat tank, going to park it in the locked gate area in Reserve La, halfway through the gate closed, he stopped, but gate hit the trailer, about midway.

    They deemed faulty gate, but everyone that seen him asked if he’d torn anymore gates down for a long time.

    We can give you several trucking company names to apply with.
    TDI is a good school, but trucking companies keep changing their qualifications which makes it difficult to keep up with the ones that hire new cdl school grads.
