    hello everyone in posting to see I you think I should get my Cdl , I'll be needing a company that only runs automatics. I'm missing my right forearm..im currently working a physically demanding warehouse job and am a driver / loader for a carpet company.... I come to ask because di you think it would be worth it? I need a different change of pace. Any advice is appreciated ( sorry for the spelling errors my phones been acting up and wont let me edit).

    thanks everyone I hadn't thought to look up amputees getting Cdl, cause I was born missing it lol. I'm really wanting to do this thanks for telling me about the Spe. I'm ready to get started.

    I'd go for it...why spend the rest of your life with could of, should of, what if I'd done this, or that. You only have one life, live it like there is no tomorrow. You can't change your past, but you can your future.

    2009, I was standing inside a truckstop, in line at the fuel desk. There was a driver at the front of the line that was an owner operator for Swift, drove a white KW W900. He had 2 hook hands. He bought some stuff, grabbed his groceries, walked back outside, unlocked the door, got inside, and shifted gears.

    I'd wager that every single day, that driver would have to prove that he could do the job. Hats off to you guys that choose to overcome physical adversities in order to live your dream. You have my respect.
