On my way!

Ok now, as indicated in my blog, I'm all set and will begin training on June 4th. Even though I've been doing almost 4 months worth of research, and will continue to do so (especially here) what are some last minute tips or things I may not have thought of as I begin this chapter in my new life?

 

Thanks, yeah, I know I want to go with SNI, but I guess I shouldn't pin all my hopes on them and pic a couple of others to talk to as well...As I said in my "One Ticket" thread, I do have one ticket, two years old--nothing before that and nothing since so I should be ok.

 

Or maybe not...

Aparently, with the city and suburbam depsrtments for WIA merging, all funding has been frozen. Worst case scenario would be July 1st, when their new fiscal year starts.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll last that long, but I'm going to see a company tomorrow about driving a cab in the interim--I just hope it doesn't mess with my WIA eligibility...

 

Thanks...I was just thinking, I know there are some companies (yeah, probably mostly BFIs) that offer CDL training as well, in return for a commitment. The commitment doesn't bother me, my life can only get better from where I'm at, but after looking at a few company websites, I can't seem to confirm which, if any offer this.

Any ideas?

 

Central looked good, until I saw this:

I don't have the money, and even though they pay for everything else, I would have to have the money for both food during training and licensing fees. Got em bookmarked anyways, thanks.

 

Good to know...So, unless this WIA funding comes through, I'll probably have to try to get a different straight job, until I can save up for that TDS...

(To clarify, I *am* "employed", just not getting any hours)
