well guys, i finally did it! after 2 weeks or im finally boarding a bus to indiana tommorow at 6:30PM. although i have absolutely 0 experience driving a truth i'm very excited and nervous at the same time. any tips and all positive vibes are welcome! also i will be doing most of my studying in the bus since its gonna be a long ride.

Very nice post Daniel! How long did it take for a recruiter to contact you? I already filled the application and put email as preffered method of contact. which I think was a mistake

Johnathan, we've had a lot of people in this forum go through the Company-Sponsored Training at Prime. You can find a good bit of information on them and several other training programs by following that link. They are one of the highest paying training companies that I know of. Our own "Daniel B." works there and, like you, he started out his career when he was only 22.

I'm hoping he will jump in here with some words of wisdom for you. I know he's real busy these days but maybe he'll get some time soon to say hello.

Welcome to the forum, and if you like reading about this stuff make sure you check out our Truck Driver's Career Guide. You'll also enjoy Brett's Book, it's a free online version, and sure to inspire you to want to continue your pursuit of this rewarding career. Brett started out fairly young also.

Old school, thank you for the warm reply. I already signed up for prime

hello fellow truckers. i'm a 22 year old from NJ who has worked various types of job most recent being a seasonal UPS part time but lately i've been reading and very interested in the trucking business after talking to various drivers at UPS. the thing is i am currently unemployed and im very much looking to get into one of these CDL company programs. As a 22 year old with no real responsibilites or bills, i would like to know some experienced opinions on this and which company is more suited for me. also, being alone for long periods of time is no problem for me as it is something I enjoy.
