Profile For Ladybug

Thanx starcar. I will be sure to keep everyone updated on my progress the High Road Training program has been a huge help. I started going through it and have learned a lot already. The only thing I'm worried about is that Knight won't accept me because of my driving record. My record has been clean for 3 1/2 years but I have a couple things on there that were stupid mistakes. I guess I can always see what a recruiter says.

I live in the panhandle right on the Alabama/Georgia border. I want to claim "homeless" status as I don't have my own place nor a car so two expenses I don't have to bother with. Also I'm not originally from this area just moved here for school a few years ago. I just want a better job opportunity and to get away from Florida.

Thanx Daniel B. I do hold a Florida driver's license and am currently employed here in Florida. So I don't know if they still will look at that as being a Florida resident. I'm just wondering if they will look past that as I could be based wherever they want me. I guess I could always ask the recruiter.

Thanx Anchorman for the link. I checked it and Knight is hiring from my area. Thanx again for the link!

I am new to this site and I have to say it has been very informative and helpful. I am wanting to go into trucking and have been doing a lot of research. I have family members who were truckers for many years and have always enjoyed hearing about it. After researching all the company paid schooling I have chosen Knight as they seem to fit best with my financial situation. I just want to know if they hire people from Florida? I have no ties to my current area, no family and friends and do not want to be based out of Florida. I have no problem being based elsewhere. I stay with a friend so don't have my own place so no roots or anything to keep me here. Just wondering.

Hi Cole!! Thanks for welcoming me. I really have been enjoying reading the lady's forum and all the forums as well. The more I do research on Knight the more I am happy with my choice. I have applied at other companies but wanted to research more before making a decision. I will keep everyone posted on my progress. I am curious if there are any other ladies out there who went with Knight? Any insight would be great. I know they require you to obtain your permit before going to school so I am currently studying for the test. The trucking high road program has been a huge help ~ Ladybug ~

Thanx Mikki! I love this site it has a wealth of information and has been very helpful in my decision for which company I want to go with. I am enjoying reading all the different experiences people have out on the road. I can't wait to get out there!!

I am new to this site and to trucking and I have to say this is the first site I came across as I was doing my research. This site has been a tremendous help and very valuable with loads of information and I am very thankful for this site. I have researched a lot about the company sponsored CDL schools as I have chosen this option to go. I have looked at all the different companies and I think Knight is my number one choice. Any information from any lady truckers who have gone through Knight's CDL school will be helpful. I do know I need to get my CDL permit before going to school. I am excited about this career change and love this website.
