New Career Begins

Nothing in my post said anything about anyone being "lucky enough to have cash laying around to pay for training out of pocket". It sounds as if maybe you have some envy at work there. Whatever I have, I've gained through a lifetime of hard work and responsibility; "luck" seems to follow that.

I asked a specific question of the OP, that's all. His postings suggested what sounded like a pretty successful career as a corporate executive. If he would have said he was destitute, I wouldn't have asked about it. You're the one who jumped in with your story of only having $150 in the bank; not something I really need to know about.

My mistake on the gender.

 

Always someone that wants spoil the party.

 

If you have the drive, and are used to being successful in life, you will do OK at USA Truck. They are like most mega-carriers, good and bad points. As stated by an earlier poster, it will take you about 3 months to figure them out, then it is your turn to make the best of it. Good luck to you.

 

There will be a lot of days like that. Not that you'll have days when you won't do much, it's just that putting 600 miles into words somehow doesn't seem to justify what you actually achieved.

 

Why a year?

 

Congrats man! Good to hear you are hitting the road! Drive safely!
