I had to get a letter from the VA about my medication I take basically stating it causes no issues to take while driving, the first time back in 2016 the mental health np wouldn't give me one... I been wanting to be truck driver since 2012

I would say my concerns are just getting thru training at first.. Then the trainer and hoping I have good experience .and also the time management as well. I will find out in couple weeks May 12 I start KLLM transport driving academy Richland, MS aka Jackson

thanks for the info..I start KLLM driving academy May 12 in Jackson,MS...do u still use atlas as well?

Yes, I have a subscription to it. I find it invaluable for locating off the wall truck stops and parking. I use it as a secondary gps. My primary is a garmin dezl otr500. New places final and initial mile as well as location satellite and streetview I use google maps for.

I will start the KLLM Driving Academy Jackson, MS on May 12 ....finally after having to delay my start because current boss needed more time plus had to get a replacement social security card.

I would like to know if you all use the Trucker Path app... I have it downloaded on phone and tablet im not in school yet but just playing around with it for now...
