If you haven't done so already, start the High Road Training Program on this site immediately. I used it, and breezed through my Permit tests and Endorsements. I start school with Swift on April 11th.
Congratulations and Good Luck

Hello truckers, I been debating between company sponsored training and trucking school. I really wanting flatbed vs other ones. So after a month of deciding, I am attending a community college here locally (25 miles). I was going to attending Millis school, but I really want to do flatbed so I am not sitting in truck all the time. After schooling I am looking at Maverick, TMC, McElroy Truck Lines, or Western Express. I will be attending Southern State Community College in Wilmington Ohio. 160 hours of training. I was wondering if anybody on here went to SSCC truck driving academy. I start March 21st in a four weeks accelerated program so hopefully I will be driving by May. Today I go to DOT physical and drug testing. It's only two weeks from Monday I can't wait. Thanks truckers for listening/reading hoping to share my experiences with SSCC on here. Thanks, Sam the 4th
