Jealousy does that for some people

. I found out that it's a after hours route which means it's a night run but I don't get that route until after I get done with my 3 months of training. Thanks for all the advice guys, it's nice for us newbie's to be able to pick the brains of the veterans.
The Challenger Thanks this. -
Well you rest assured they will not cut you lose without lots of training , 1 advantage over starting out OTR.
Local outfit near here that runs GASES has a very stringent training ( ongoing ) and safety requirements.
Best of luck. -
Hell yea. Wonder if it's Redball oxygen? You can a career with those people. When I worked in lawn and landscaping, two of our customer's are retired from redball as drivers.

So just to update this thread, I went down to the DOL today and got my CDL. Now I'm just waiting on the phone call to setup a interview and get to work. Not having a job yet is killing me, I hate having to sit around and wait. I talked to their driver trainer on Tuesday and he said he doesn't see why I wouldn't get the job. I also talked to one of their drivers and he seemed to be pretty happy and has been with the company for 15 years. So I feel like i'm making a pretty good decision. Anyways I wanna wish all you guys and gals out there a Merry Christmas and happy new year.

I got offered a job back in 2006 hauling blasting agents local, but I just hired on hauling Fuel. -
