    I just got my CDL MA, with H,N,T on 11Feb11. Also got the TWIC card and passport taken care of while in school so i'm good to go.

    Gotta call Scott back at PGT on the 15th. He said to give it a few days for the system to update with my new information.

    I can't wait to get out on the road and actually get a paycheck again. Every week I see my savings getting smaller and smaller. :(

    I finished orientation last week. I'm with a local trainer this week learning how to haul steel coils. It's quite impressive to see just how much the trailer squats when the forklift sets a 49,000 lbs coil on it. Things are going well. Will keep you posted.

    I know it's been awhile but I wanted to post an update for anybody who still might be interested. I am doing well with the company. Have been making decent money every week and learning a lot about hauling steel. I like PGT. Haven't had any real issues other than other drivers screwing me with ###### securement on preloaded trailers. The dispatchers have been good and I really like my current one. I know nobody is going to believe this but he treats me with respect and gives me choices on loads when he can

    Yes I know it is. It was worse when I was trying to decide where I wanted to go. I like the company. I'm making money and the work is steady. My dispatcher treats me good and keeps me moving.

    If you have specific questions feel free to ask and I'll answer them if I can.
