The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard
The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.
We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.
We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Ive seen some nice hills that look like fun but with the company I work for it would never happen, they have way too many rules, surprised they dont dock drivers pay for passing gas while driving. Parking and enjoying yourself is pretty much a no no with them. Most other companies (like the one my brother, or the one my dad work for) dont mind if you stop or what ever just as long as you operate legally and make your delivery on time.
It took me 2 months at a community college this summer, there are private schools out there that offer CDL's in a few weeks, but most companies that hire students straight out of school will not hire people from private schools and will request that you go to a community college for a refresher class. So its cheaper just to go the CC way to begin with.
I just started but so far I love it, I will like it more when im done training and will be driving on my own.

Went out west this week, we drove close to 7,000 miles in all. First time visiting many of these states including California, Oregon, a sliver of Washington, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, etc.
