Profile For Attila the Hun

Thank you Starcar for that great advice.

Thank you Brett!!

I been lurking around for awhile trying to learn all I can. I rode in a semi cross country and back and fell in love with it.

You have simplified everything!

I figured I would have to do the company sponsored training. Sorry, I did mean 'dry vans' and reefers are ok as well.

I'll be doing some online apps and see what happens.

Thanks again for breaking it down for me and creating such a helpful and awesome site with such friendly folks.

Thanks Chris L. Be safe out there!

Hello everyone,

I've wanted to drive a semi since I was a youngster, I've finally decided to just do it. I have been doing a lot of research and yet I still have a lot of questions. I'm on information overload!

Here they are and am I asking too much??

I'm a small framed female, aprox. 120lbs, mid 50's, and looking to go fulfill my dream job, with little to no money and this is what I am looking for:

A trucking school that offers (below), because I will have to stay with a company for a year.

Reasonable amount of time in school * Reasonable amount of hours in school * Dedicated routes * No touch freight * Dry beds * Terminal locations between Kentucky and/or Atlanta * Paid home time if possible * Student teacher ratio reasonable * Possible female trainer * No forced dispatch if possible * PTDI certified * CPM amount for all loads or will there be a difference in $$ for empties, etc. * Will my training be considered training or actual experience with that company. * Pet friendly if possible * Decent (%)amount of grads from this school * Does it take a lot of strength to do this job (physical)? *

Does this even exists? Thanks for your advice, input and responses.
