Hello all,
Name is Curtis. Have been reading this forum for a while and have been getting some good practice and insight into the career of trucking. A couple of days ago (last year lmao) I received a call from a recruiter at CRST and i accepted the invitation. I have been wanting to get into trucking for years, since I turned 20 (I'm 23 now). I have been frantically putting my information and application into many different companies that offer training and haven't gotten any calls or responses until then. I'm sure that has to do with the new year approaching. I believe that I am very ready for this career choice, I do have some doubts but I honestly think that those are things everyone deals with for any career. If there is any information or experience stories that they would like to share with me about the company or just the trucking career in general, please feel free to share them with me. I look forward to giving my experience of my goings ons in my starting life as a trucker. Thank you to whoever reads this and a Happy New Year.
Curtis
