Profile For Goat Lotion

Greetings all. Short background... Im a 49 year old guy who has wanted to drive for 20 years but wanted to be present to raise my kids, so i never went for it. Kids are grown, wife left and i am now with a woman who has encouraged me to pursue it. So for the first time in my life, I am going for what i want to do. Its a good feeling. I signed up for evening classes at Custom Diesel Drivers Training in Omaha, NE. Thanks to TT i flew through the process of getting my permit, and with my Army experience and shag driving for my current employer, the Road portion is going very well too. Being 5 weeks in and exploring my options, I wish i would have gone done a paid training program with a mega, but live and learn. I am now fairly certain I will end up with the closest Mega to me, and that is Werner. Their Tuition reimbursement program is good, its close, and I know i need to get to know the industry. My question is about the Dollar General account and if anyone has done it. The Werner recruiter that came to our class said its just a wonderful and lucrative option, but I know his job is to put butts in the drivers seat. Ive also seen horror stories about the account on some other sites. Some of it seems like guys who wanted the money but not the work. (Its %100 driver unload) I currently work in a warehouse loading and unloading off and on all day. I am not allergic to hard work. Wondering if anyone who has worked this line can shed a little more light on it. I am sure there is a middle ground somewhere in there. Any insight will be helpful. Thanks for reading.

First post. I plan on starting my driving career around October. I need to get a cdl and would prefer to do a company training program. Is it too early to start talking to recruters. Ive researched most of the programs on here and have a good idea of where i want to go. Just dont want to waist anyones time if it is too early. Thanks
