Profile For Brinda C.

I leave Saturday for orientation and I have trying to figure out what to carry my wallet and things in. I am not sure if I should carry my pocket book or retire it to something else. Can you ladies tell me what you carry your things in. Thanks Brinda

Hi Kim and welcome! We to have gotten into a rut and its time to change. I started school last sept. And I have graduated with my CDL and I am off to orientation on Saturday. My husband has stated his schooling and should be done in June. then he will be off to orientation hopefully we will be in a truck by end of summer to team drive. We have children who are grown and moved out so now its our time to move on as well. So good luck to you

Hi Dorian I recently was able to drive a newer truck, the school I go to have older ones and I was nervous about reaching the pedals but I drove a new truck and I was great to sit in the seat and be able to sit comfortable like you belong there so don't worry about being to short you will do fine. Stay safe and enjoy your new career. I am going to I will be off to orientation at the end of the month.

I AM 5' WITH MY SHOES ON LOL I HAVE MY CDL AND WILL BE JOINING A COMPANY SOON (WHEN I CAN FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE TO GO WITH) AND I FINISH SCHOOL. SO YES YOU CAN DO IT IF I CAN.

Thank you all for your help I am going to do a little more research with the information. Stay safe !

Hi everyone. I am new here. I would like to say thank you this site has been very helpful. You have answered many of my question. I will give you a little history.. my husband and I have researched driving truck for about 5 years now. We have grown children and 9 and counting grandchildren. So when things happened with my job of 12 years, I cashed out my account at work and figured this was the right time to jump in with both feet. My husband and I are currently in school, he is working on getting his CDL, I have mine (I started before him) and I am fine tuning my backing up, I know it will be a while before I can say I know how to. We also know its not going to be easy, but we are looking forward to seeing the country and enjoying the time we have left. We are still young enough to go out on an adventure of a lifetime. So now we have to decide which company we want to go with (not an easy decision) , that being said I would like to know the best way to stay in touch with the family. Is it best to use my cell phone and video chat or the computer Skype. Also if anyone has an opinion on phone companies. Which one has the best coverage, and rates, does the trucks have internet for personal use? Thank you in advance.

Thank you

I should have posted this in the general forum. Not sure if I can move it.
