Thanks for the advice

Thanks man I 100% agree get on with a company and just stick it out with them. They have told me that they can keep me out all the time I am hoping to throw all my stuff in a storage locker just live in my truck saving money and making more because being out all the time. Tomorrow is the state test day my driving and inspection is really good my range stuff is only fair!

May Trucking Company has already got back with me looks like I once I do my state test done I will be able to get on with them. They have been around a long time and as a new driver I will take the first offer I get it seems like it is getting tougher to even get a offer now a days.

I just finished 120 hours of training at FCG in Michigan and take the state test on 1-22-2025 and will have my CDLA

Doing 25 minutes of cardio daily will deplete your carbs for the next 24 hours so during that period your body will burn fat. If not your body will burn off your carbs all day and store the fat. I went away from doing this for a while and when I took my DOT physical my BP was 138 over 90 barely passed. I have started doing 25 minutes of cardio a day again my BP is now 117 over 77 and I have gone from 226 lbs. to 212 in 3 weeks.

I have decided to work for UPS for the PEAK season will be able to save about 4000 bucks then I am going to a 3 day school in Michigan FCG Truck Driver Training that will give me 24 hours of 1 on 1 training which will be excellent for me. The guy I talked to said that the trainer will just work on whatever I need work on. It is going to end up taking me a little more time than I wanted but I think it is best it ended up like this. This company also offers manual and automatic vehicles so I can hopefully be able to get my CDL without the restriction of only driving a automatic transmission. I have talked with a bunch of companies that have told me when I get my CDL they will hire me as a new driver. I am sure that means going out with a trainer for a while but I have nothing against that. I once again want to thank everybody on this amazing site for the advice and support I have got here. Any new people reading this do the high road training this site offers read things in the forum and say hi these guys won't steer you wrong. Funny I been doing this side job where I move 26' box trucks they seem so small after driving a trailer around when I was at CDL training.

I would also say read the manual they provide for the test your taking. Everything is in it that will be specific for whatever states test you are taking. Also do the high road training stuff here it is second to none it covers everything and as you move on it continues to ask questions of stuff you have already completed so you don't have large time gaps and forget things. It will also put you on review mode if you miss a question to many times. I have tried about every app out there if you do high road courses here and the manual from the state your taking the test at you will pass.

I found a training facility here in Michigan that can finish up my training I already have the theory range and out on road completed they will do my CDL for 200 rent a truck for 300 and 200 a hour for any training that I need I figure 2 more hours of offset backing and that will also get me familiar with the truck I will be driving

I already have the stuff sent over to the state to take my CDL test

I just put in for a grant if I have to I will just pay to get the training I need to get my CDL. Roehl even told me if I get my CDL they would be glad to have me back just thought I needed a little more time to perfect everything. One way or another I will get my CDL and work driving a truck! Quitters never win winners never quit I always say!
