    Maybe pre-mature but had interview and drive test today with Mansur trucking in Janesville, WI. Think I'm pretty locked in, set to start training monday the 25th. Was thinking of updating this thread with the adventures of a new driver if people wana hear it. :biggrin_255:

    Congratulations, be safe, slow, and smooth. Beginning of our career is all about patience, building a good routine/system, and learning how to correct/minimize your mistakes. Good luck.

    I would like to hear about it too. I started a thread on Mansur a few months back and got feedback from a current driver that appeared to register to answer my questions. What he said sounded decent. I'm still in the thinking stages though. Where are you located at and where did you go to school? I take it you're a new driver? There's not much info on a small company like that so please post everything if possible good and bad.

    Im located in rockfor il about 30 min south of janesville and went to rock valley college tdt and yeah just got my cdl friday. My first impression of them was good everyone was friendly didnt seem to bs me(time will tell for sure). They seem prety libral with what u do with the trucks and one thing that i like is she said i can plan out my own routes. Ill post more about them later this is a PITA doing it from my phone lol
