Officially accepted to Athens Tech Commercial Truck Driving Course

Sounds like he had enough of his own!

 

I guess I will go ahead and get my endorsements that I had planned on getting while I am doing nothing for the next 7 months.

 

That had to suck. Obviously there is a higher power looking out for your brother in law. Hope he is doing well now.

 

Well, since things did not work out with a certain company I wanted to work for, I am back to my original plan going to tech school.

I was going to go to Athens Tech but North Ga Tech starting offering a night course so I am going there instead as it is much closer to the house.

So I went and registered today, met the instructor and chatted for a bit. Left there feeling good about things. First night of class starts March 5th so not much to write about until then.

There are only two of us in the night class and both of us already have our permits so we will get cracking on the range quicker since we don't have to cover the test manual. We will do logging and trip planning first then get out on the range.

Finally!

 

Thanks. Yes my back is much better now. Not quite 100% but only because the muscles are still gaining strength back. Just had a recent MRI and all the bone graph took and everything is healed as far as the spine is concerned.

The teacher and I talked about different companies that come to the school and he mentioned Auto Zone has been hiring from there. So I was excited about that. I am going to start working on getting my HazMat endorsement so it will be in place when I finish school. Never hurts to have it anyway. Opens more doors

 

Well, the first day of class is behind me. Nothing real exciting. The teacher went school policies and had us sign a few forms. Covered the course outline and got our books. Also issued a pre-trip video to watch between now and next week before we get out on the range.

Another student and I get a reprieve for the rest of the week since we already have our permits. So until next week...

It is good to finally be working on getting my CDL.

 

Well, I have been doing some thinking about companies to apply with once I finish tech school. So far my first four picks are Watkins Shepard, May, and SNI, and Auto Zone.

Anyone care to comment on my picks? Suggestions for better ones?
