[QUOTE="Grumppy, post: 12374377, member: 54431"]OP, I know your bottom lip is pooched out right now after reading the above replies. Unfortunately, its the truth though. My advice, get [I][U]YOUR[/U][/I] CDL and drive for a company for a minimum of 4 years, then see where you are. Sometimes we seem to let our dreams run our passion. Dreams are just that sometimes... a dream. Get yourself some firsthand experience, then rely on your true experience. I once posted here for a new entrant........ I've had six heart stents. They don't put you to sleep to do that. You're awake & talking so you can see & hear everything going on including watching the monitor. I've been reading up on this so, I told my cardiologist, I think I'm just going to do the next one myself. I mean, I've done a lot of research on this and watched a ton of youtube videos & I think I have it down. After I do my first one, I think I'm just gonna buy me a white coat & go in business for myself. Now that don't make much sense does it? Whether you believe it or not, its the same thing. Either of these ideas are just as silly as the other. I don't mean to offend or belittle you, but think about it..... it really is the same thing. The following statement can apply to either dream/idea. Put that on hold until you've been able to get some training and practical experience. Once you have about 4 or 5 years of training & personal experience, then consider doing it by yourself.[/QUOTE]
