    Going to start this thread to chronicle my venture into trucking. My intended carrier is FFE. But I have a few things to do before I can apply. Original goal 6 weeks. But "might" be 8. Reasons? Couple small things to take care of first.

    1) Pay ticket for driving on expired tags. Not a big deal for getting hired.
    2) Find out if I need TX address and/or DL.
    3) If I do. Get an address through Escapes.
    4) change my bank and car insurance addresses.
    5) change my driver's license to TX.

    I'll update as things progress.

    Ok. So next check will take care of the ticket/license issue. Then I'll reach out to the recruiter.
