Delayed Introduction

Greetings everyone,

I've been lurking for a few months while starting the process of getting into a training program. Hit a few bumps along the way, so I didn't want to jinx things anymore, but as of New Year's Eve I overcame the last hurdle and am now getting everything in order for training starting the 25th at Millis in Hamilton, OH.

The info I found here was invaluable in getting me across the starting line. So this is a general thank you and a brief hello.

A bit of background, I drove a bit back in the early 2000's. Didn't have the support I thought I did at home and got out. Heeded some bad advice from the BMV and wound up downgrading my license back to a non-cdl. Now I have a much more supportive family, kids are teens and above, so it's time to return. I'm sure I'll have some questions since things have changed quite a bit since I was last in the truck.

Happy New Year and looking forward to becoming more active on here.

Happy New Year, and welcome aboard Josh!

Thanks for introducing yourself to us. Feel free to join in on our conversations. Also feel free to ask questions. There are no dumb questions here in our forum. You don't have to feel like you need to dive for cover after asking a question in here. We do our best to keep it civil and helpful. Our whole purpose is to push back against the army of misinformation that faces new truck drivers as they enter their new career. We call it Trucking Truth for a reason. We try to live up to that reason each day.

Welcome, Josh. Thanks for joining in the fun.

Good luck at Millis, and please be sure to let us know how it's going.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I want to try to post a training and beyond diary, but I do tend to forget to post a lot of times.

I'm hoping driving is like riding a bike and I just need to shake the rust off.
