Hey guys,

Figured I'd come on here and start a journey diary. I'll be starting with Wilson Logistics, got my med card now I'm working on obtaining my permit. I'm pretty excited to be starting with Wilson. I been doing a lot of research and think Wilson is a good fit for my needs.

Here's alittle about myself. I'm 26, and currently a Corrections Officer for the state. I been a CO for a few years now and I just don't see myself being here for 25-30years. Everyone bashed on me for wanting to leave a state job to become a truck driver. Everyone says I should just suck it up till retirement and then think about switching careers. Being a truck driver is something I always dreamed about especially because I'm some what of an introvert.

This is going to be a very big jump for me and if I'm being honest. I'm pretty damn nervous and scared because I am leaving a state job for the unknown and I don't know what lies over the horizon.

That's it for now.

Are you going to be training in Missouri or Montana? I'm leaving this weekend to start training with Wilson in MT. I am leaving a 32 year career...I look forward to following your journey.

Good luck to you both!

JT, keep updating this thread when you get the chance. I'm considering a career change from a government job as well. Wilson also interests me. I'd love to get sent to Montana, haha, but I'm closer to their Missouri facility.

The weather has been fickle to say the least. Do you have a date set yet? The trainers up here are awesome,
