    Im in training now and im closing in on a test date fro my CDL. I can't wait to get away from N.J for a while the only thing I'll miss is my friends and going to N.J Devils hockey games. I've been out of work for too long and can't afford to do anything here in N.J!

    I love to travel and I have always wanted to drive big rigs OTR. I feel Im cut out for trucking and hope I will be prepared for everything. Thanks for everybodys insight here.:biggrin_25525:

    Welcome to the forum! What are your plans once you have the CDL A? Which carriers are you looking into or which carriers are looking into you?
    Good luck!

    HA! That's what I say everytime I'm in New Jersey! No offence, but the driving is something else up there!

    Welcome!

    Hello and Welcome:)

    I see that you had attended C1 Trucking School and are currently in another.
    If you would like, please start a thread under, "Trucking Schools", so that you can post about your experiences in re-training.

    Best to you!!!!
