New, working on training for my road test in 2 weeks.

Thank you for the info. And yes home weekly

 

It looks like it's a decent start. So I drove around town with the man today. He's pretty cool. He owns 3 trucks, he drives one, and right now he is looking for 1 driver. So it was awesome today!! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had a bit of trouble shifting the gears on the thing. It was a 13 speed. But I got the hang of it. Did about an hour on and off the highway, taking exits, getting back on and such. Then about an hour and a half driving through town. I got the hang of it. He will be back in Sunday. And he will load on Tuesday. So he said Sunday and Monday we will drive and drive and then he will take me on the road with him the following Sunday to cali and back. And instead of paying me to help him drive the little that o am allowed, he is going to pay for that school I mentioned earlier. He will pay the $1650 to the school so I can take the test with a day cab and a 20-something foot trailer. And he will have me on one of his trucks.

 

Ok so I came to a cross roads today. Pam Transport from lubbock called me about my application. I applied with them last week because they review a felony case to case basis. And we'll they processed my application and a recruiter called me back asking if I could go to Dallas to school...? Now that I have options, I would like some more opinions.
I've read some reviews on pam, and they seem to be the better place over crst and swift. And contract for a year.

 

I kick myself in the butt not just paying for the tanker and hazmat endorsments and when I took the tests for my learners permit. If it doesn't roll through with either option that I have I'll push through some how.

 

I really want to get on the road.

 

The driver for Old Dominion who goes daily at the warehouse I do security for was the one who convinced me to get into getting my cdl. He's a pretty cool guy. Yeah there's Old Dom, Aaa Cooper, Saia, Estes, Averitt, Yrc, Roadway Freight Lines, Southeastern Fright Lines, and there's a small terminal in Weslaco for SMT that's based out of San Antonio.
