My journey toward my dream career!!!!

Lol thanks Mary. I'm guessing the breathing would been while reading that big glob of words lol

 

The physical is just piss test, then eyes and hearing, then blood pressure (no grabbing of the balls but the nurse is young and blonde so I was ready for the ball grab lmao) I'm not sure bout miles but you get 2 hours a day of drive time total (drive time as in on the road shifting and turning, the pad is really how much you wanna put in). School has you put that you drove 90 miles but it didn't feel like 90 miles a day. When you practice shifting you go out toward London Ohio on route 40 out there by the truck stop, you stay gone all day that day so bring money or pack a lunch. I would rate them a 8 only cause some instructors are grumpy old men but if you don't pay them no mind and no that you there to get something you want and don't let them bother you, they keep it real and sometimes piss you off lol but I would recommend the school cause they really work hard to get you to pass and you get unlimited times to test.

 

Thank you. Since my credit is low I put 2500 down and my first payment don't start til 5/15/13 so they give you time to get some money or however your paying it off but my payments are 144 a month. They are real helpful on getting you in and set up with work. If you go to school there an you EVER need help finding work they will help you find a job

 

The overall cost of the class is 5495 or 6495 I can't remember

 

10 grand? They ripped whoever paid that. I paid 2500 down and only owe 4500 or something like that but its 3 years at 144 a month for me and I went through them for the loan

 

update: applied with Schneider National and i think i might get it, i hope so cause im kinda giving up and thinking ima have to wait til november of this year to get a trucking job didnt get the job at economy produce cause i have 4 things on my mvr(i think it was cause i couldnt drive there 13 speed 1986 freightshaker lol that think was a piece of #### and i never even seen a 13 speed and they expected me to just jump in and go). to ease the pain i didnt do that bad you just know how old men are, if you dont it right the first time then you cant do it lol

had the chance to make some extra money ($1,000 actually for 12 hours of work) had to deliver 21 pieces to 21 different BW3's (buffalo wild wings) all over Michigan, furthest one north in Bay City and furthest one west in Holland. Spent $245 in fuel and $9 on some trucker glasses (the ones with the big frames that look like super trooper glasses). Learned a lot about how much i dont like Michigan, they have too many #### state routes (M routes and the Michigan left was messing me all up).

Almost forgot im waiting on a call from Valley Transportation cause they have a probation that they was saying they would put me on, which is fine by me. im practicing on breaking my stories up into paragraphs but i think im breaking them too soon (hell i dont care, writing was never my thing and thank god for spell correct or i wouldnt even write on here). Stay safe everybody. P.S ill be getting a cb radio soon so if your ever in the Cleveland Ohio area yell for Rollin 18 (that is if i dont get a job before then, if i do ill get a special license plate like Mr. KE5WDP has) okay im done writing, time to go get a couple drinks and relax, its one of them days today, FLUCK STRESS!!!!!!!!!
