Finally Doing This

Well my greydog ticket is here. I can't believe I am actually doing this. I am really excited to actually be in a rewarding career. Spent the last 3 years working as a cashier at a truckstop and now I will be on the other side. Heading to the Swift Academy in Phoenix on Saturday and I am very excited! Thanks TT for the high road and answering whatever random question I might have had. I will keep everyone updated!

Best of luck! Am still waiting the final approval from the company, all paperwork in. Can't wait myself. Figure if I can sit all day staring at a cubical wall, might as well have an office with a view. Pay will be a little less than I make now the first year or so, but can survive it. But doing something I have always wanted to do, and actually looking forward to a new job in don't know how long......

Congratulations, Devan, and welcome to the Swifties club here at TT.

Put a diary on the Training Diaries board so we can follow along.

The main advice I have for people starting out is:

It ain't you!

Backing practice may bring you to doubt yourself. The frustration and pressure can get extreme, but most people do get through.

Devan, good luck. Lucky you to do training in AZ. I love that state.

Steven, your comment about an office with a view made me laugh. I'm also soooooo tired of cubicle life & office politics.
