I start truck driving school on March 10,2014. And I wanted to just say thank you to all of you for the advice and encouragement. I have researched companies and different CDL training options and decided that i am going with Central Refridgerated as my hopefully first company. As was mentioned i will not become an o/o or lease a truck. My mind is made up on that. Maybe after a year and i Kind of know the game and score i will ( more likely not). I know that my 20 years of retail experience in receiving and customer experience and that i am a people person will serve me well with dispatchers and i always work hard, so that will not be an issue. And with your advice i will do what ever it takes to get the job done with professionalism. Thank you to the TT High Road CDL Training Program, anybody who is thinking about trucking you have to go through it. I think it should be a part of trucking schools classroom training. Again thank you to everyone as i begin a new adventure. P.S. I will try to keep updates about school is going and how training goes to
