    If you drink your school, stay in drugs, and don’t do milk anything is possible.

    Ask @Chinatown

    Give your location, he is the guru on hiring practices of companies.

    I did it, I only drove with Werner till the training period was complete. I felt the training sucked and was nowhere near ready to navigate the country or drive in new York ciry. I went local after 3 months.driving driving locally was well within my comfort zone. I knew the area I operate in. Been driving almost 2 years only spent 3 months away from home. Hated it.

    I gross between 1k-1200 per week consistently

    i dont know chinatown im sorry last week i grossed $1450, this week its going to be north of $1,300. i think im doing OK. i will make over $55K this year..... easily. HOW is that a waste of talents?

    wasting my life? im not going to look back and say i wished i was there for my kids. i AM there for my kids..... EVERY SINGLE DAY.

    you are of course entitled to your opinion, as am i. im making decent money and maintaining a good driving record.
