I passed my general knowledge test, but......
I failed the air brakes and combination vehicle tests. She said I could come back tomorrow but I think I'll do the High Road practice tests all weekend.

I'm curious how this has been going. I live in Wisconsin YRC's training academy page says that you have to work in Chicago. I see job postings for YRC in Madison and Portage Wisconsin which are much closer to home. Is it possible to complete the program/training and work out of Wisconsin?
Thanks

Interstate/Intrastate confusion
So I plan on getting a physical soon for my medical card and then go for my cdl permit. I have no idea who I will later be driving for or whether they cross state lines for that matter. Does interstate cover all bases no matter what area I would be driving in? I'm 48 and live in Wisconsin. Thanks

Just a quick training question
Thank you Chris. Sysco is one of the places on my list. I think the hard work would be worth it!

Just a quick training question
Are there any of the big companies where you go out with the trainer (for several weeks) that will have you home on weekends during the training period? I'm in Wisconsin....

Thanks guys. I'll definitely weigh every option. I just talked to a Fedex Freight driver and he said starting out on the dock may be a good option and I could possibly work my way into a driver position and earn my CDL that way. I'm open to anything for the most part...

Thanks Errol. I plan on going to a school later in the year (wish I could start school tomorrow but I have to wait). You made a good point about the "transition" but wouldn't it be considered training if the person isn't transitioning from another type of driving?

Local full time after the 8 week training? I mean, something like this would perfect once I get my CDL. Any opinions?
