It’s been a while. Someone (@Amery2umomAnne) found me on Twitter, & reminded me of this forum. I just RENEWED my CDL again... I am still driving. The sock was hard. The company that did give me a chance, The company that gave me my opportunity was Carolina cargo. As a company I would not recommend, but as a driver who needed to get his foot in the door and his butt in the driver seat, the company suited my needs . This is the fun part, two of the guys I went to school with recommended me to their company. Their company, I had previously rejected my application, gave me a second look. I have been driving for May trucking company for going on two years now. I have not had much time to keep up on the forums, as I have been a very busy driver. But I say this and thanks. My buddies kept me going, as well as this forum. My story proves the point, yes it is true that where there is will there is away, but also where there is support there is bolstered will. I am going to make it a priority the next couple days to look through the forum and add my two cents. I am still here, I am driving, and I am proud to be a member of the fraternity that is the highway men. We are the feet on which America moves. I will be around #Cheers my Handle on 19 is “Drac-Roast”.

Yeah according to Tyler's profile, it's Carolina Cargo but as Bobcat mentioned Cr England is another big one.
