    Well hello!
    I guess it's my turn to announce my existence and here I am!
    I'm 28 married almost 5 with no children but 2 cats and 3 horses.

    I know you've read it time and time again, I rode in a truck when I was a kid and always wanted to do it! Now is the time!

    I have honestly tried to keep an open mind while reading the things on this forum, I know it's in a downspell right now but I'm hoping for the best.

    Just today I signed up for my CDL class at a private institution. They are OK'd by Watkins Shepard (my provider of choice) and I will be behind the wheel in a week - So stay off the sidewalks!!

    I just put in my application to Watkins just today, I've spoken with Sandy last week and she 'showed me the ropes' over the phone as much as she could. Very nice lady, very informative and patient with me!

    Once accepted/hired I will be in a 10 day orientation with them, if anyone has any news on that I'd love to hear it!

    I'm still very excited and can't wait to start!

    Thanks for reading - See you in the forum!

    - Jason
