Well im 24 yrs old at a dead end shipping and receiving job with no hope for a decent wage any time in the next 20 years even though I been there almost 5 years. Been really wanting to get into trucking for around a year now. Really intersted in it here lately and im ready to make the jump asap .
Probably gonna jump into it with in 2 months max. Cant hold on much longer at work. No CDL but have studied for the exam and continuing to do so . Gonna take it very soon. I was gonna attend a somewhat local school and drive back and forth from home to school but its a free ( HOPE Grant paid ) 11 weeks school. I take medicine's and 2 are pretty expensive so I cant be off with no insurrance for that long with no income coming to boot so looking for a company provided CDL.
Not looking for a top notch company. Not going in with high hopes or the world given to me. I just want my CDL , work, decent pay , 1 year exp. and be treated like a human. Looking toward Roehl maybe Millis. Still looking at my choices. Maybe Schnider but have read they boot people in training fairly quick for small things. Would like to stay out 2-3 weeks and back home for 3-4 and run SE Regional if possible.
I also have a couple speeding tickets on my record 2 with in 3 years. Both under 20mph over one is a 2 point ticket other is 1 point. No biggie I dont think.
Can someone chime in and give me some other companys that I should look at? Or maybe some help on anything. Like I said im not real picky I dont expect the BEST company just a decent one till I get my year + in.
