    I am currently researching entering the driving industry. I started out by reading the "Crete - A year in review" thread. WOW.

    Ok, so where do I go to find out what the real outlook for the industry is? I need to decide if I actually should jump from my day job or not.

    I have had some interesting issues with my birth certificate which I should have all straightened out by the middle of next month. It's a long story, but my father was a bank robber and using an alias when I was born. So my BC doesn't have my real last name on it. I am having it legally changed so it matches all my ID.

    Plus I have ordered a copy of my DAC report so I can see what exactly shows on it before I even think about filling out an app. I had some run ins with the law in CA many years ago (>25). These should all be misdemeanors. If they are not showing that way I will need to go have them expunged from my record.

    I am looking into attending Sage Technical for training. Of course, if there is no hope of getting hired, or no miles available even if I do, there would be no point.

    I got that nickname years ago from a family that I was close to. At the time I was living on a 2 wheeler, boots, levis, vest, long hair beard. I guess the kids thought I looked a lot like a bear.
