I got my CDL license a few years ago when I lived in Chicago, but never actually became a driver (other career opps trumped it). Now I'm in NJ and prepping to take my CDL knowledge test as soon as I can schedule it. I spoke with a recruiter from Schneider and will likely join their apprenticeship program where they provide the training over 5 weeks, then send me home to take the test in NJ. pointed at a dedicated Target job nearby. I've been lurking this forum for a while, picking up tips and whatnot around all subjects covered. I have so many questions, but I'll continue to do my own research to answer them. This is a career change for me, Covid has decimated my old job (management consultant/trainer) so I'm motivated to get busy with something new. I'm no spring chicken at 62 yrs. old, but I'm reasonably fit (6'8" 220lbs), hoping I can fit comfortably in the Freightliner cab! I love driving, I'm originally from Texas and driving is a way of life down there. I'm also mechanically inclined, I restored old cars for years. This will be a huge lifestyle change for me, but I feel ready for a change. I've always had a bit of wanderlust. I recognize that this is a very difficult job, but I'm ok with that and ready to pay my dues. Anyway, glad to be here!
