    I want to say lets not forget that this is a help thread so please ask if I can help you I will,I'm still taking my journey but,I have learned some things like I said trucking is a never ending learning experience and most of us are on a journey but we are in the same boat I'm down to earth if you haven't noticed so please ask read my posts and realize we are human and we all make mistakes and we all get mad at some point but that's when you need to step back and ask yourself a question what caused this to happen and the unfortunate truth is I did I didn't think I leaped into a unknown pool and didn't check the water 2 things can happen if the water isn't deep enough you will break something and if the water is too deep and you can't swim your gonna drown. I have made my share of mistakes but the thing is do you do it again or do you learn from them.

    I will say this most not ALL but,most leases through theses mega carriers are scams and unless the driving schools are approved by the trucking company they are a rip off here's

    the reasons: Leases they blow numbers up make things sound to good and then you find out you are in deep and you sink expenses and truck payment becomes a pain Example C R E's lease program look on the internet rip off reports and just their bad rep do your research if you know the ropes then you can make it work for someone just getting started not a good idea go company driver get you experience don't try to take a short cut and think I'm bad look at me I got my own truck you will have a big headache.

    Driving Schools:Trucking companies won't accept you unless you attend a certified driving school PTDI is what they look for, a lot of schools are a scam because they are not certified again do your homework research don't give someone money and you get nothing out of it.Don't end up like this guy:biggrin_2553:but aim to be this guy:biggrin_25519: I like to be happy don't you.
