    every body, THANKS YOU, all very wonderful and useful information, i came to this site looking at it like it was some type of a joke, however, after reading, and even posting on here i have found that this is a really awsome " tool ", if you would,
    real quick, i am in school
    All State Career School in Lester Pa. i am in the middle of my 6th week, so far its been ALL class work, 10 weeks of it, after these 10 weeks, i head out to the " Range " to start pre-trip, post-trip, coupling, un coupling, air brakes, straigh line back, ally dock-which i think is dont a 90 degree's, a few other, Then, after those 10 weeks, i head out on the open road for 4 weeks with a road instructor, and then hopefuly, after that, ill be a grad. and on my way in the real world
    I am going to do further invesigation's on the companies named above from you guys'/girls,
    for the most part, im looking for a flat beding job to take me to my 23 year on the " wonderful planet " where then i will be hopefuly transfering over to TMC, i have read nothing but good things about them, but we will see how things go with my choice upon grad. who knows, i could end up staying there for a long time
    thanks again to all
    and happy halloween

    hey H-D i am new to this whole trucking deal, however i have bin doing a ton reading as far as it goes, and there are some really good comp. out there that will try thire hardest to get you home every weekend, or every other weekend, I no that TMC will get you every weekend, or every other weekend, i think i read that about 98% of the time, they get you home when you want/need to be home, well actualy, if there is a family emergency, they will even pay for you flight to and from where you left the truck, now, you will lose that load of course, however once you are able to return to your truck, you will be sent out to get a nother and be on you way, heard this from a recruit, and someone i went to school with you has been there with TMC now for 9 months, and he loves it there, of course every comp has there " good, bad and ugly " so just keep reading here, if CDL is what you, you will find what you are looking, keep searching, let us no how you make out
    see for me i have no kids, no wife, the g.f is fine with this and supports me 100%
    well best of luck to all of us out there

    hey H-D again, i want to compare the schools the best we can, take pic, send them to me, im going to do the same, ill PM you, but from what i hear, the campus out there is way better then ours here in Lester... from what our intructor has told us your campus is WAY WAY WAY bigger then ours, however i do think we get all the new trucks :biggrin_25514:...... sorry, just go do it, my shced is Mon- Thurs, 8-1, 10 weeks class, 10 weeks range and 4 weeks in the truck on the rd with an intructor, just pay atten, and dont be afraide, intimidated, scared, to ask a question, no matter how stupid, crappy, hilarious, serious, the instructor is there for you to learn.

    again, let me no what its like? when do you start? when you get there PM me, we'll exchange email adres cause we are limited to PM on this forum, but again keep reading here, youll find what you are looking for.

    best of luck, keep in touch
