Congratulations on making it this far into your journey, and best of luck on the next step. I begin with Jim Palmer next week, and can't wait.

Sambo, thanks for all of these tips. Very useful info!

OtrEscapeArtist, I'm really enjoying your training diary. I have a tentative start date of 31 July with JPT, and your posts have helped to shed a lot of light on what I can expect. I'm really looking forward to starting a new career, and JPT sounds like a great place to do that. Good luck to you!

Congrats, Big Scott...best of luck as you continue to move forward!

Thank goodness. So often these forums get hi-jacked by some know-it-all loudmouth that has never set foot in semi. Thank you, Brett.

Aaron, fellow Mainah here...great to have you back. I enjoyed reading your previous posts as you documented your training journey with Jim Palmer. I'm hoping to get on with them this summer, as soon as I retire from the Air Force. Please keep us up to date as your schedule/time allows.

Eric G., I've really enjoyed tracking your progression. Congratulations on the TRIFECTA, and best of luck on the rest of your training journey. Please update us when you can.

OC,

Not sure if it's applicable in your case, but there is always this:

Jim Palmer primarily hauls Prime reefer trailers. Since you're in Florida, you may also want to consider Wil-Trans, Jim Palmer's parent company located in Springfield, MO.

Awesome post! I need to print this out and carry it around, just so I can refer back to it. Thank you.
