    congrats. it's always nice to see a legitimate success story. the company I worked for at the time was gracious enough to pay for my studying and testing and let me use their equipment for the test.

    I tested for my cdl over there. only one hiccup, which is funny now. the cdl booklet I was given (by my employer) to study had the OLD air pressures printed for the brake test. naturally I immediately failed after the instructor asked me again what the numbers were and I ultimately repeated the wrong ones, twice. I got very upset because I KNEW what they were. stormed back in the building after it was over with my OLD book and angrily showed him. then he politely informed me that I had an old book. so...I had to retake the test, passing it the second time. this was circa 08.

    I'm alive! Still with Swift running "shuttle" (swapping trailers midway with other drivers from Memphis & Detroit). Hourly wage, home every night. 4 on 2 off.

    Just got a call from Columbus today asking me if I wanted to earn some extra cash running local (100 mile) deliveries from drop yard on my off days. My reply...

    @Thull & @Charlie Mac my ole' lady/ my better half!! is going for her DOT and sleep-study Monday in Columbus @10 am.... no way to dissuade her at this point, she's bored with School Buses...... haha!!!!!
    Y'all are an inspiration to us both...... and thank you for the updates. Yeah, might be Swift.... I hope!
    Better than CRST with their new http://www.livetrucking.com/large-t...allow-non-cdl-holders-to-drive-by-themselves/ .... i mean i know she can drive....she comes along with me often, with her CDLP... but um....... hmm.
    she 'thinks' she wants to team, but haylnah..... i'm done with that, LoL~!
    Thanks to y'all again, for all you do.
    She feels that her 'mixed' ethnicity could be a downfall, but I actually see it as a plus....ya kno?
    Glad to hear y'all are doing what you do, keep me posted.. You've both been instrumental more than you think.
    BE SAFE, drivers~!!
     
    Thull Thanks this.
