    Well it looks like you may not be cut out for the job. Good thing is you did not waste a lot of time figuring that out. Find a place that will train you and not do a team job and you will most likely be fine.

    On a better note at least you will get to spend your time with the pup. I know if that was me I would regret going off leaving him or her to die without me being around. Take a #### local job flipping burgers if need some cash until he passes. Then get back on the OTR gig trying to find the right place to work that will train you the way you need trained.

    I lost my little man about 1.5 years ago and he was 4 years 8 months. He had kidney damage from an Operation as the tried to overdose him on meds so they did not have to take care of him. He lived almost 3 years afterwords but it got the best of him. I was lucky enough to be my own boss as an Owner Operator and stayed with him the last 3 weeks. We took one last truck ride together right as he was going on his last month. This was his last ride. He loved it so much. Stayed on my lap almost the whole way back from Texas to MO. RIP little Bear

    If you don't mind traveling and doing 240 hours with a trainer. (Driving hours) Then contact Stevens Transport. They are in the DFW area and do a great job of training new grads.

    Without a doubt. The last few weeks he could not walk a lot so I would carry him to all his spots on our walks and let him mark his spots. He was my little baby for sure.

    That is such a sweet pic of your dog. I don't know if I updated this forum or not but my pup passed away on I believe it was June 29th. A lot of tears that day, he brought so much to my life he will be greatly missed. I am currently in the application process for a Ready Mix Concrete job. We will see.
