    hey everyone the names brian. Im from indiana just currently got laid off from work. Used to work maintenance in a steel mill and have finally decided for a career change. I have always loved semis as a kid and as an adult and always dreamed of driving one so im gonna make my dreams come true. i am looking into two different schools. DACC (Danville Area Comunity College) over in illinois and roadmasters over in indianapolis. Havent decided wich one yet. Wasnt going to go to school and was just going to get my CDL throught the DMV but after research i think schooling is the best option for me. Ready to start this long journey and do something i would really enjoy!

    I'm attending this school on the weekends right now. I have 3 weeks left, and I have no complaints. The instructors know their stuff, and I feel very confident that I can get through the state examiner with no problem. Highly recommend.
