    Well hello everybody, my name is Josh and am 28. I am currently a student attending Bates TCC in Tacoma,WA. I Graduate in November and am really excited to start a new career in trucking. The program here is a 6 month program and is pretty extensive.I've been out on the streets a few times and have my backing down pretty well (right in with MAYBE one pull up). I am really excited to hit the road. I do have a question. I am trying to find a job in the greater Seattle area before I graduate and there seem to be few companys that take graduates with no experience. Does anyone have any recommendations as to a company I can or should look into.I would really like to bring my dog with me as he is my best friend, however, just starting out I am willing to take what i can get. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Regardless where you wind up working, you'll most likely have to leave Fido at home until you get in your assigned truck. Just make sure whomever you sign with has a pet policy!
