    ...or should I wait until I have the cash saved to be able to pay my bills for the month I'll be off work?

    It's going to be a few months since the IRS just "took" what savings I did have and I don't want to waste Roehl's time.

    But on the other hand, it would be nice to plan ahead and make sure they'll even accept the app.

    +1 on critters' advice. Even if you didn't have to wait, it would probably be June before you headed out to Marshfield.

    Put your application in now. There are several things that must be looked at before Roehl will even offer you a spot. Do you have your CDL or are you looking to go through their school?

    If you're serious, get the ball rolling ASAP.

    The school is only in Marshfield, WI. The classes are small. You might find that now we are at the end of winter there will be more applicants. You could end up waiting longer than you expect. Call them Monday morn and see what the tell you.

    Ok, will do. I'm glad I asked rather than sitting on it. Looks like their time table may match closely to mine. Should I just ask for HR or a specific person?
