Excellent! good luck Bill!

Oh...and I am already sweating thinking aboiut learning how to back one of those bad boys up LOL

Welcome Tony.

As you know you are in the right place.

All the resources here are top notch and one cannot fail if they put in the time and effort to make informed decisions as well as study (study, study, study) the CDL training materials offered. That being said the most important or benificial thing you will find here, in my opinion, is the honesty and the attitude that is protrayed and passed along to those who are taking this gaint leap.The right attitude leading to the right work ethic surely seems to make all the difference when out on the road. And although this is just as true in anything we do it seems to be even more so when that load has to get there and the 'road' throws all it has to offer at you. Those that manage and moderate this this site and forum have the right attitude in spades and pass it on with honesty and a true desire to help...

With your determination and their help success is at your finger tips.

Thanks! Great advice!

Thanks Bill! This website is a fantastic resource.

Hi all. My name is Tony and I currently work in the IT industry in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. I am a single man 44 years old with no children. I have been in IT since the 90's and while the job has paid the bills and has been a decent career, I have never been fulfilled. I just do not want to be a 9-5 worker anymore and honestly, I never really have. I want to be on my own and I want to explore this great country of ours while being paid to do something that I have always loved; drive!

That's the epiphany I had not too long ago...I have always LOVED to drive. Doesn't matter the distance. I love to explore and most of all I love to be out on my own! My destiny is to be a truck driver!

I am brand new to this so really any words of encouragement and advice would be greatly appreciated! I guess I have the usual greenhorn questions...my first question is broad,....how do I start this journey? I want this! I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for reading this and be safe out on the roads!
