    Thanks. And from my readings the DOT does not play games. Being safe is paramount as always.

    I actually graduated from winsor last week and got my license Friday. Don't go to smith and Solomon u won't get hardly any drive time. I got my permit before I started class so I went to the trucks right away. And u gotta study section 11 in the book. Have to know that chapter word for word

    Yeah, that is what I'm starting to see on the Intelliapp. I will check out CL in a few. I have no problem running hard and working. I'm in good shape, no health issues, and take direction well. I can expect that first year to be a real pain in the ##*. Its cool though. I can handle it.

    Dozens of companies will hire you after you complete a cdl school.
    If the state will pay for the school that's the best route.
    Millis Transfer is a good outfit and has their own school. They hire felons and ex-cons. Those drivers say they easily make $50K each year.
    Celadon has their own school also.
    Western Express may or may not still have their own school.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.
