Thank you all and a special shout out to Elendil, you have a great attitude and provide excellent feedback. This is a very informative forum and I appreciate all the knowledge all of you pass on to us newbies. I am currently a CDL- A student planning on getting my Hazmat, Tanker endorsements, TWIC card and a passport. I have a squeaky-clean background and driving history with a solid employment history. I am working hard in school and will get a good job when I graduate because I will not settle for less and I am willing to pay my dues and earn my keep. So my feedback to anyone looking to get into the trucking industry, do not sell your-self short. It's all based on your attitude!
