So The Journey Begins!

Off tomorrow for the first day of CDL school. Going through a private school in Winchester, Kentucky, Dr. Bodene Truck Driving Academy. What a name! Maybe I will also learn road side first aid from dummies 101 as a bonus. Tested today for my CDL permit along with the endorsements. Passed everything with ease due to the fact that I have been studying High Roads. If you are new to this site, feel over whelmed with all the info out there that you need to know, then use the High Roads training program. Its the bomb! Have an invite to Maverick's orientation, but also am talking with McElory, Melton and Roehl. All of this is possible due to the wealth of info found on this site. Thanks everyone! Be safe and don't forget that life is way too short to drink crappy coffee.

Congrats! You are so right. Used the study guide myself and aced all the tests. Hope to start school here in Mi on the 30th. Just waiting for my wife's insurance to start before leaving my job.

Thanks Hickabilly! Started school today and had a good time. Since I had my permit, I was able to head right out to the yard to practice pre-tripping and backing. Straight, off set and even got a couple parallels in. Fun day! Good luck as you head into school.

Talk to Kelli at Melton she has been so helpful. I hope to be there this spring

First off good luck on your journey. I can't tell you anything about the other companies but I'll vouch for McElroy as they have been good by me so far. I even had to take a week off when my dad passed and at that time I'd only been there about 2 months. They've been nothing but good to me. Plus you get home every weekend not just off every weekend. So I get home on Friday and leave either Sunday or Monday morning on occasion.

The only about Melton I did not like was being out for 2 weeks before coming home. Have not fully decided yet, still have some time before deciding. Good luck to you this spring!

Thanks Parrothead66! I have an app in with them and a recruiter for them will be dropping by our school next week. Looks like it is coming down to a decision between Maverick and McElroy. Thanks for your input of the company. I followed your posts a while back when you first started with them.
