Guess I need to give up my dream of getting my CDL

There are way too many drama queens already driving. Please go do something else.

 

I do not think you understand what the word "Severely" means. Obviously english is not your first language.

 

Fine, then pay for the license yourself.

If you want someone to pay for things, then you accept the strings attached. If you don't want strings, pay for it yourself.

You've been given some solid leads, you've been given sage advice, and yet you find a way to say no. You need to learn to find a way to say yes, find the path to success, not invite failure.

 

That’s not how new gen operates. They think if they kick and scream enough. Somebody ELSE will make their life better.

 

Fine, limit your options for ONE FREAKIN YEAR. Save some cash and take the test in a manual. It's really not that hard to do.

However if you already "know how to shift" then you will have no problem passing the cdl test as is. Save $500 and you can take the CDL test on your own. Don't think it's possible? I can point you to several guys who have done it that way.

You can achieve what you want to, if you are willing to put in the work. If you want to keep making excuses, then you will always get what you've always got.

 

I've been following this thread but I just can't care anymore. The cats hungry and I need to go. Good luck. We don't need him.

 

After reading this entire thread and your lame excuses I agree that it is time for you to give up on your dream of being a truck driver. Good day and best wishes to you in your life!

 

You don’t have to go over the road to be a truck driver.
Oddly a lot of people like the OTR lifestyle, you know being a modern day high paid gypsy.

Just drive around you neighborhood and look at the various daycabs and decide who you want to work for and then go there and convince them that you’re worthy enough for them to make you into a driver.

 

Clearly you are just not cut out to be a CDL holder.
It is in fact beyond your reach, but look at the positive side of this, you set out on a path of discovery and learned some valuable things along the way. So it was not a total waste of time. And on that subject perhaps the time you spend here would be better used to advance your current employment situation. Attending a local community college would be a good place to start.

 

I knew this would be a thread of just droning and crying, I said it from the start his dreams are crushed by reality.

The op doesn't get it, many of us have seen this same crap, it is up to him to get off his butt and start his career, not for us to do it for him, we could care less, we have our cdl or had and know the game pretty well to know that it is just a gateway. The endorsements are just things that allows you more access but not really money. He needs to worry about them after he knows he can actually drive a truck - MOST CAN'T.
