    OK so I called drivers edge trucking school and they got me in contact with continental Express.. Went to the school and picked up the information packet on them for a starter school you really can't beat it from what I read in black and white.. But anyway they r running driving record and background.. Hopefully I get the green flag.. I'm nervous but I think it's because I am excited. Hopefully will be able to start school beginning of February.. Plus I don't have to drive across country or ride some nasty bus. School is like 10 minutes from where I live and the trucking company only about 15-20 minutes from where I live.. Please keep your fingers crossed that this all works out.. Dang these butterflies.. Hehe...

    CE hauls a lot of yogurt out of Plymouth Indiana, I'm sure you'll be there quite often. Their equipment (Freightliners) seem to be well maintained, good luck to you!

    I saw a lady driver with a dog driving for Magnum out of Fargo. Refrigerated outfit with nice trucks. She said they take new drivers fresh out of driving school. Tony is the name of the guy that handles recruiting.
