Hey TruckingTruth,

Oh how the time flies when your having fun (if that's what you want to call it lol) ! The scary thing is it's only going to get faster! I recently put it my two weeks notice at my current employer, and my last day was March 10th. I had been there for two years. It was sad, but I am excited at what's in store dancing.gif . I have paid vacation that I am useing this week to relax and prepare for orientation/training dancing-dog.gif . I will begin orientation/training with Crete Carrier Corp. on March 19th. I have posted some about it on both forums. Please feel free to follow along and ask any questions you may have. I have some general knowledge of the company right now, but I will have more detailed info for you once I get started.

If you would like to follow my experience, please check out my topic in the CDL Training Diaries forum called Follow Me to CDL School . I would appreciate any comments or feedback you may have. I would like to pass along my knowledge and info to other newbies like myself. good-luck.gif & thank-you.gif to all my fellow Trucking Truth friends.
