    I did not. That was a month after I got out of school. Unfortunately I went with Pepsi instead. Now I work at bakemark USA. Delivering baking goods. Chinatown says it all the time. Ignore the requirements man.

    You said that earlier about Pepsi and Bakemark. I haven't heard of Bakemark. Are you enjoying it?

    Did they start you off in a class a or class b?
    If I'm not mistaken I browse so many of these forums you just graduated correct?

    I wish I knew when I graduated to just apply. It's just discouraging when everyone says a year or two. Now since all of you are saying it I figure the only thing I have to lose is a few mins for an application. Best case scenario I get an interview to sell my self .

    Yeah I don't have much experience. I applied for a B because that was what was available but when I went to the interview he was like if you have an A let's do the A we need A drivers. So an A driver

    Let me tell you this, putting in an App with resume doesn't take long. It is worth it. You don't lose anything by applying and interviewing.
