    Hello from a trucker to be. I am currently attending CDL training with a graduation date of August 22. I am here to soak up as much information as I can.

    My background is in accounting with my last job lasting 19 years until the economy took a bite out of me. I have decided to change my career path to trucking. I have had a yearn to try this for many years. I have a friend that drove for Arnold for many years till he went into the Safety Department. I also have a friend that drives for Prime. Only been driving for about 2 years and said the only regret he has is he did not do it sooner. Yes the economy bit him too.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. I will post who I am looking to check out so you can maybe give me some help in making a decision. Let me know where exactly to post this info and I will get started.

    A Big Thanks Up Front !!!!

    IMO,This thing called trucking has NO definite answers on what one should do;-what works for one,may not work for another,etc.

    However,here is the place to figure out the questions you think are important,and then sort out the answers,and make a decision..I hope your not confused,cause after reading that....I AM.!:biggrin_2559:

    Anyway,Good Luck..:biggrin_255:
