    Geesh there's only 3? Have you tried looking a little further or are these places already a fair distance away?

    I see. Maybe try some other companies around if there are any. Either that or do the waiting game but then your looking at a refresher course probably. I travel about 60 miles to work and another 60 back. Although that's me not you and everyone is different. Sure I could find something closer but I'd make a lot less then I do now even with the fuel savings.

    Only a rumor, but I heard sometimes getting your foot in the door with a little local company can help. Of course that means you will have to have a decent time with them to "prove" yourself. Since it is a driving industry, they don't like those kind of speeds. On that note, Werner is really being a pickle with who they choose. So many out of work with no records they can afford to be. My husband had a bit of trouble 19 YRS ago and they wouldn't work with him. Just a thought. Best of luck.

    Yeah its been hard finding anything local. Ive been trying a lot of the beginner training companies. A couple of them said 3 moving violations in the last 3 years and no suspensions within the last 12 months

    I don't know why people have the need to bash particular companies, but England's standards is the same as any other starter company.
