As a former financial advisor, this is my "due diligence" phase. A few questions, and forgive me if these are of the 'Captain Obvious' type.

I kissed someone's bumper two years ago. It was minor, and no police were involved, but she eventually felt like having State Farm buy her another bumper on my behalf, so I have an accident on my CLUE report. Will this hurt my chances with companies? I don't have any tickets or violations otherwise.

Company training vs. private CDL school. There is a school here locally, and also know of one in Dallas (I'm sure there's several up there). While I can afford the schooling if I chose that route, I'd like to start earning money faster, even at a training wage. Maybe I've answered my own question.

Would you recommend getting my home state CDL permit before going to a company sponsored training? I've been reading a lot about Prime and it seems like they (and the state of Missouri) are discouraging this.

Here's an "out there" question. I know people in several states who own land and could see myself wanting to hunt during the season on my off time. Do you think companies, and/or law enforcement, would have an issue with having a compound bow with me? I'm certain every single company has a rule against carrying a firearm on the job (and I've had my carry license long enough to know that compiling with state and local laws all over the country would be next to impossible).

I've been browsing around this website the last few days and I really like what I've seen. I'm considering a career change and found this site doing research.

I'm in my mid 30s and feel if I'm going to make a lifestyle change into this career field, now is probably the time to do it. I rode along with my uncle once when I was in college so I got a tiny window into your world. I learned not all Walmart back rooms are created equal.

I'm still poking around and I'm sure I'll have a few questions. I'd like to get back to Dallas but I live two hours south of there for now. I've seen there's quite a few companies that hire and even train out of Dallas.
