So I haven't been on here in awhile but thought I would let everyone know I got my CDL on the 31st of January! I am so excited about getting back out on the road... I sure have missed it. Starting with Con-Way Truckload next Monday and I am a little nervous getting back in the swing of things after being gone for 8 years. A lot of things have changed yet some stay the same.

Hey Starcar thanks for the reply! I checked into the WIA program and was told because my husband makes over a certain amount of money I don't qualify. I checked into Central Refrigerated but they don't hire where I live... to far south for them. I just want to do my schooling, get in do what needs to be done and get out. I have heard CR England tries to force students into leasing a truck and I am not interested in that at all at the moment. Have you heard this to be true? I have also put in for USA Truck but they don't run out west and typically stays east of the Mississippi so they are not my first choice.

I am new here. I was an experienced driver (8 years) but came off the road 7 years ago so I could stay at home with my son. Now I have to go through school/training again (I surrendered my CDL) and I am stuck trying to make the decision of where to go. I have read all kinds of horror stories about all trucking company sponsored training so do I just flip a coin? I am considering both Driver Solutions driving for USA Truck or CR England. Do any of you have any thoughts on which company is the better of the two? When I got my CDL in 1997 I went to a trucking company sponsored school/training and even back then what I was told was all lies so I know the drill. I am just trying to choose the one with the less lies. Is that even possible? lolrofl-2.gif
