Fired From CR England For Two Accidents

Mmmm i can smell the arguments at the fuel islands or in the truck stop drivers lounges already 
If I would have failed I would have owed nothing. It was risk free for me.
Yes it was. You can thank your fellow tax paying Americans for that. Somebody took their money and gave it to you. Thankfully you didn't squander it.
Irrelevant. They simply exist and are easy to get.
The 30 years of taxes( income and property) I paid prior to my grant might offset the cost eh'?
You would argue with a fence post about anything, eh?

What I am doesn't matter. The perspectives exist whether I do or not
Get it?

Nope. I've said for decades that arguing with an idiot is a waste of time. My time is valuable, and they're still an idiot.
We've talked about these for years. You just haven't paid attention. It still puts you into a private school. Brett and I both went through private schools, but nowadays we consider the Paid CDL Training Programs to be the best option.
The best option possibly if explained fully in simple terms right from the start, with the risk involved.
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.
Nope. I've said for decades that arguing with an idiot is a waste of time. My time is valuable, and they're still an idiot.
Like I said. These perspectives exist whether I do or you and will exist whether we do or not. Try not to take it so personally.
Copy?
There is another factor with company based training to consider, that is the fundamental motivation of the company to help you succeed.
If you're paying a private school, many of them will give extra time to your education and help more if you're risking failure. I saw my private school do this for many people who were struggling, going as far as giving them twice the paid education time. At a company based school, well they don't have their entire reputation on the line as a training school on the line, they can simply move on to people who are cheaper to train and leave you with the bill.
There's a narrow band of people who will struggle with learning but would be fine with extra attention, and they may well benefit from private schooling.
All else aside, lets not forget that trucking pays the same as bachelors and certain types of masters degree level jobs. If you need private schooling to get in the door it's still a worthy investment.
This^^^
There is more than one way to succeed. Americans aren't limited to only one.
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
EPU:
Electric Auxiliary Power Units
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices

My apologies. I didn't realize I was upsetting you.
I'm a capitalist, 1=2 you know. Assets = liabilities + capital.
Seems there we are a dying breed.
Yep. You have no idea how close you are.
