Congrats Marc great news. 
What status: returning new driver or student?
Congratulations of course! Make it happen this time, please!
Thanks PJ.
PackRat... 3 days of orientation and 200 hours with a trainer to upgrade to solo. So NOT a "student". (Guess I get to keep my CDL and endorsements).
Don't really know much more than that. Guess you all convinced me: A) It doesn't really matter and B) I am lucky to have the opportunity.
Rest is up to me, eh?
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Congrats man, and best of luck!!!! Go get em!

It certainly is. That's one beautiful thing about trucking; there's no faking it. You have to go out there and make it happen.
Great news! Good luck

Ain't that the truth of trucking!?!

Welcome to Swift.
Congratulations Marc!
Welcome to Swift.
G-Town!
Congrats Marc. I spent three very lonely days at that terminal during a blizzard lol.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
