    Thanks Cage

    yeah she sent me a list of schools they hire from and I've got it down to two near here. Just going through the channels for the financial aid.

    You don't need a passport to run Canada?

    Not enough loads to Canada and they have enough drivers who have them so no need to get it now, could help later but not a must have.

    Just stopping in to say thanks for all the info here Cage. :biggrin_25514:


    I'll be starting orientation with WS on Monday the 16th. I came out of a PTDI school in PA so I'll be doing the 10 day gig.

    Just can't wait to get going and maybe meet some of you folks out there. Well, better get packing!

    Hi Chris, My buddy Saun and I just graduated this week from Sage down the road from there. I just passed my test and received my CDL this morning. We are both starting there Monday as well for the 10 day orientation so I guess we'll see you there!

    Thank you sir and I sure hope we do meet at some point. I'm nevrvously excited about the whole thing now. Your info here has really helped to give me at least a starting point of what to expect. It's also refreshing to hear some positive feedback on a company.

    One of the hardest things for a newbie to do is sift through all the good and bad trying to dertermine what company to trust.


    Rick, That's great news!! I'm really happy for you and your buddy Saun. Me and my buddy just graduated from Northampton Community College in Tobyhanna PA. He started a thread in the newbie question section before we started school on June 29. And although I didn't know about it until almost graduation on August 2, I've joined in posting our advertures there. It's becoming a popular thread and SO MANY fine, experienced folks have given so much great advice along the way. We feel it's really turning into a great thread for anyone seriously looking into the trucking industry as it's a pretty good record of the whole process.

    The link is here if anyone is interested....

    Now are you guys doing the 10 days in Conover NC? That's where I'm headed. I have to meet a nice guy named Vern in Sayerville NJ Sunday morning and then ride down to NC to the motel. I really hope that's where you and Saun are going. It would be kind of like knowing some folks ahead of time...LOL

    Although I guess I'm not the only one meeting up in Jersey (don't know who or how many others) but I suspect we'll get to know one another a bit on the ride down to NC.

    Anyway, I'm really looking forward to joining the W/S family here and plan to post my experiences as time goes on.

    Chris
