    thats good to hear your thoughts. im planning on to be a trucker, but i came up with idea is to start with locals before interstate jobs. i know trucking can be tough job at times. depends what do, and where you heading to :p good luck with rest of your training

    It gets much easier once you get acclimated to it and on your own
    don't let anyone/thing run you off the road, that deer or other truck or whatever becomes hearsay after the fact.
    HAAHAA NOT LIKELY, but may be possible. thought the same thing when i started looking into getting my CDL 4 years ago

    Get used to that in Music City, not exclusive to Werner drivers.
