    im 21 i got my CDL when i was 19 but couldnt find a driving job.I know i need a refreshment course. my driving recorded is perfect. the thing is coming up with the money for the refreshment course is kinda hard since my current job is paper boy
    I did get to drive a semi truck for assment to take the refreshment course at the place i got the cdl. I did good on everthing except backing. I callled the school asked if they where going to help find a way to pay for the refreshment course but they said this to me "im having lunch and im talking sombody I will call you back. that was in jan still havent gotten a call back i left my home phone, cell phone and email but the nothing. Im going to try going to the college that owns the truck driving school and talk to them soon

    oh by the way im kinda of a night owl so ive been sleeping 6:30am to 3:00pm but could change back too sleeping at night . driving is my old dodge ram cummins diesel is my favorite thing do just love that sound.
    maybe i should try going to applying at a company i was consider werner because there traing pretty gooded but im not sure.

    Since you already have your CDL just start making those calls........
    You are old enough now and a couple of coompanies will be glad to pay for refresher instead of the whole course.....

    Good luck and keep at it, it will come through for you........:biggrin_25517:

    Welcome to the forum. I'm sure that you will find something suitable. Just keep making the calls, and like jash said, someone will probably be willing to help you out with the refresher course.

    I'd look hard at the Werner threads here, before you consider them. There may be better companies near you that will treat you better.

    Keep us posted and good luck.
