I did it. On April 24th 2015 I reached my goal of one year safe OTR driving. It opened doors for me. I applied for two local driving jobs and received offer letters from both companies. I did some research on both and chose the one I felt to be the best fit for me. I want to thank Trucking Truth for the tools provided to assist me in obtaining this goal. I haven't participated in the Forum that much but I have read many threads and made note of all the advice from the experienced drivers that so unselfishly help out the rookies on this site. Thanks again TT.
