    Why? All BS come out into the light?

    I was just gonna start sifting for a piece of property on the south side near all the commerce, then work my way toward you, when that story came out, and I thought well that area is not gonna be affordable now.

    Why they have to return deposits?

    The deposit was just to reserve your place in line to purchase a truck. The company says it does not need your money to operate, thus returning the deposit. $1,500 deposit.

    Wow. Kinda like paying just for the privilege of getting a seat at a football game before you even buy the ticket.

    God if I can't even keep up with posting here, how can I do a flipping log book?

    Hi all Range next weekend, however we got out on the range yesterday to learn pre-trip and move the gears to get an idea about the shift pattern and double clutching.

    I am leaning towards Hazmat and tankers local, but most want 6 months to 2 years driving. That may kill most of the prospects, but I am not dead set. But that is where I want to be. I was kicking around Schneider, they seem to have a good tanker training program, but training I don't think isn't available in Az.

    There is so much to consider. I would also like to do belly dumps here in Az. OTR is just not a option at this time. I have too much going on and no help or support network for emergencies.

    God willing something will rise. I hate being new. And this is one of those careers where being new with no experience sucks

    Bob at SWTDT is a great instructor. The indoor portion of the training is complete. Now it is all outdoors. Just hope is stays somewhat cool through next month.

    Arizona? Right...!
