Thanks Gary! I'll take all the luck I can get!

Hey all,

It's been 2 or 3 months since I've chimed in, but know that I've been logging in and reading many of your blogs which has helped me to no end. Along with that, I've been studying the High Road Training Program and it's definitely built up my confidence as well. It's obvious from the studies that there's a hell of a lot more to know than any non-trucker might guess, and not stuff to take lightly either!

That being said I've finally got my start date at SAGE for December 15th in Colorado and I'll keep you guys posted in the CDL Training Diaries for any of you out there looking to choose a private trucking school that accepts the G.I. Bill. All the best to you guys out there!

Jeremy H., I didn't think of that. Thanks great input. I think ill definitely go with a MiFi.

Hey Trish, welcome to the forum! I think you'll find everyone here to be very helpful to you as they have been to me. Good luck at school!

Wow, thanks for all the responses. I hadn't logged in for a couple days, but now that I have I see that you're all definitely there! :) Yeah, I may just get a MiFi for my laptop and switch to a dumbphone so that I don't pay too much. As a limo driver my company provides MiFis for all the cars so that our passengers and ourselves can use it. I don't see us getting that at a trucking company! Thanks for all the other pieces of info, I'll make a mental note...

Cheers mates!

Thanks fellas. Ill let you know if I find anything. Maybe ill just get a MiFi. Then again maybe I'm jumping the gun a little, maybe I should be thinking about getting through trucking school first! Haha! :) -All the best!

Hello all. I was wondering if all truck stops have WiFi, or if it's better to get a portable WiFi (like a MiFi) in case some truck stops don't?

That's fantabulous MG! I'm already jealous cause I still have a couple months before I even get to CDL school. :) Keep us posted!

Mountain Girl,

Here's one of my favorite quotes that has helped me throughout my life: "Where the mind goes, the body will follow." If your mind is in trucking, and it stays in trucking, you WILL be a trucker. This passage has proven itself to me every time without fail. And especially a stand-up person such as yourself, what with being a veteran and an officer at that, there's no way you're not going to overcome this temporary hurdle.

I was very interested in them too but they are only OTR and I needed something local. Yes, they do have a pet policy and an additional rider policy.

Well it seems several people were or are interested in that company so that's always a good sign.
