    Yeah they aren't cheap sadly. I was very fortunate that my family offered to pay for it so I could have a career! By Tuesday or Wednesday I will decide who I'm going with. First choice is the local company garner. Just not sure if they have a tattoo policy, mavericks second and I still want to talk with N.T.B. and see what they are offering. Been able to rule out the other options.

    The physical was way more hype than it was worth. Had everyone worried until we got through it but was pretty easy. Just have to lift correctly with your legs and such. We had some pretty oversized guys and some short scrawny guys and everyone made it but one who was missing paperwork for something from his doctor. Give me a call if you want 585-545-8263 Martin. Although I will be in canada in a few minutes and will not answer there I will be back in the US tomorrow afternoon.

    Congrats on your CDL! I hopefully will be there in about 6 weeks and I will also have to see what will be available to me. Good Luck.

    The cdl test isn't too bad if you can stay relaxed. You do gotta practice that pretrip though. I've read bad stuff about trainco but they got me ready for that test and taught me the basics. I'd recommend the perrysburg ohio location to anyone. Now the real training begins! Decided to go with hornish brothers out of defiance ohio. Almost went to dutch maid but these guys get you home more. Home everyday...I know I'd make more otr but I'm ok with the pay.
