We became friends and are still in touch today. Its not the employers responsibility to give you a ride to school. If you want it bad enough, youll do what it takes to get there, on time and learn it. I may seem cold, but its just the reality of it. How bad do you want a new career?
It follows suit with your education, your training, your solo time in the truck. I want it, so I pursue it.

Take some personal responsibility and accountability is my take.
