Shooting for June

Well after going to Prime last year in August and being sent home bc of a ticket that wasn't even on my record (I wrote it down and honestly don't know why) I'm gonna give this another's shot. I've done a bit of reading and of course you have your good stories and the ones where people bash the company bc things didn't quite go the way the had planned.
I'm new to the whole trucking gig, but have been around it for the past 17 yrs considering my Dad's a driver for a flatbed company (Stricklin Trucking). I want a new experience, something different for once. I'm 21 and I want to see a lot more than the surrounding states of Missouri.
I'm shooting for June, hopefully in the first couple of weeks actually. So any advice that anyone has to offer would be much appreciated.
If all you have to do is complain and I know it will happen, just keep it to a minimum. I don't need your bad experience, everyone is different and things happen for a reason. I mean trucking isn't for everyone, I do know that.
So any advice to a newbie/rookie would be GREAT. Thanks everyone and be safe out there!

 

Well as "Chinatown" said above, the simplest way to do things is for me to go to a school. I understand that a lot more companies will put you through a refresher course. The problem with that is, I don't have $3,500-$5,000 to put into a school. That's my whole reason for getting into a company that offers the training. I understand they somewhat own you once you sign that 1 yr contract, but my choices are limited.
I'd personally like to get into flatbed, just aren't many options out there. Well considering my age and no experience.
I've got to start somewhere..

 

Well they told me I lied to them, technically I didn't considering there isn't a trace of it ever happening. I kicked myself in the butt after that though, so now I have to wait until July if I want to go back with them.
There's nothing wrong with the company, it was a personal mistake that I can only blame myself for. Although I don't believe that they should have been able to hold something against me that isn't even available for them to find.
I originally chose them bc they aren't too far from home, only about 3 hrs actually.
I'm gonna give Central a shot in June after my CNI (careless and inprudent) becomes 3 yrs old, on May 29th. It was a stupid ticket anyways, wet blacktop on a hill in a 5 spd. Just broke traction a bit and I got pulled over.
I mean from what I've read Central seems like a good company, just a fast pased school. I'm fine with that. I guess I'll find out in June when I get the show on the road!

 

I wrote it down on my app, I wasn't thinking at all. It's not a big deal though, I'm gonna go with Central here in June. I think it will be a good company to start with.
