I am excited to say that I have made the choice and I am waiting for a training start date for Pam Trucking. My question here is, would anyone know where I would be going for my training? I live in South Texas, (South of Houston). Id like to know because Im used to the weather here in South Texas. It's still 80 degrees during the day here. I know most places north of here are in the 20-30's and some already have snow. I just need to know where I would be going for training so I know what to pack? Do I need a heavy jacket? Or just a light jacket? Anyways, I'm super excited about getting started in training.

I have been thinking about going to a CDL paid training course with a trucking company for almost 10 years now. Each and every time, I would back out because I had reservations about being gone, not seeing my family, or that the pay just wasnt enough. Now I am in a place where I need to take a job very soon for my family. Financials are getting slim. SO I have found Roehl Transport. They offer great training, and are veteran freindly. They also offer training close to home, (Dallas, TX) My only problem is, my wife is 100% against the job. She is assuming that I will be gone all the time, and we wont make enough money. I guess my question is, is there anyone here, who has a family at home and doing trucking full time? Wife and kids at home. How do you deal with that time and separation?

Does anyone know of any CDL sponsored training centers in central Texas? I currently live near Austin, TX. I want to choose a great company to sponsor my training and I don't want to go very far for my training. Anyone?

Yes I saw the reviews on FFE, I think I like them also. Seems to be a very solid company and a very good training program. Anyone here been trough FFE's cdl training program?

I'm new on here, and I'd like to pick a company to drive for. I need to get my cdl first. I thought there was a company sponsored CDL training center in San Antonio, but I don't remember who it was and with what companies they do it for?
