Profile For Wesley T.

Ok. So I am starting with Crst in two weeks with training. I live in Georgia. . They are busing me to their training faculty in two weeks

Did I pick the right company? Ant suggestion?

Hi. My name is Wesley. I am a 34 year male. I am tired of working in kitchens. Call centers. Doing janitorial work. Warehouse jobs. I think i want to start trucking. It kind of occured to me the other night. I was driving back home from my mom's house after visiting her over Valentines Day. I was doing 70 miles back home and had the radio up a little bit, listening to some old AC/DC , the window cracked a little... and had this sence of peace. I realized then and there that I love driving. I really do. I am comfortable taking trip by myself, all alone, in my car. I like listening to the radio... seeing the open road. I truely have this odd sense of peace when i am behind the wheel of a vehicle. And so... I came to the conclusion. Trucking.

This week i called a few recruiters this week. And they keep calling me a great candidate. a "golden" candidate. And what they seem to want from me .... is for me to go to there school. And get hired out of the school and pay back the tuition via my first job. Or take out some private loan via Sallie May or whatever... But honestly... I don't want to do that. Also... because Technically... i am a student right now.

I am currently a welding student at a local community college in my town. And honestly, I am not very thrilled with it. And when I finish ... i will technically be working in a factory. And inhaling toxic fumes into my lungs. ... and sweating my ass off.

So after having that

A little bit about myself.... and I am telling you this for you to see where i could be at after getting my CDL.

I am 34. No major traffic violations(i have had two speeding tickets in my life.) . No DUI's No felony's. I have had a few brushes with the law ... 2 misdemeanors. Fighting, but the charges were "disorderly conduct". No drug charges. I think these things are why one of the recruiters kept calling me "golden".

That's a really good thing for getting my CDL and a descent job starting out , correct?

Do you think this is a good idea? What should I look out for... as far as getting screwed over on pay in my first year. OR like company's getting me to sign contracts with them.

Does my criminal record look promising as far as getting a job with a good company?

Ok. Lead the way Ladies and Gentlemen. Lead the way.

I am getting excited about this whole thing.
