TT On Facebook
I've been researching schools and companies the past six months but was discouraged at first with all the negative stuff and outdated info and I actually set the idea of trucking to the side. That was until I ran across TT !!! Compared to some of the other sites I've seen they are so negative and full of company bashers. From what I've read it seems the industry is changing and moving toward the future high tech big time which will affect wages and life style. I'm leaving the security Industry and 50 plus years and paying for this myself. My main focus is get cdl , get hired, learn and train, focus for a safe 1st year !!! (Be Nice) and I've learned this from TT forum, Thanks Brett !!! Check this one for all you wanna be's like me out there, one school I contacted had a special reduced rate but you have to pass all test the first time. Price was great and I believe in me but I want to enjoy this experience with less stress as possible. Crawdog out!!!
