Profile For GARY P.

I really appreciate the feedback and tips. Believe me, I'm absorbing every word. I am approaching this very seriously. This is a big investment for my family and I. I'm excited about being a part of the truck driving family. Thanks again y'all!

Congratulations! I'm hoping to be in your shoes passing my test next month! Thanks for sharing your experience. It helps me to understand what to expect and helps me feel a little more comfortable.

Howdy y'all. I'm a 43 year old married guy venturing into the trucking world. My wife and I did a ton of research and a ton of discussing before we reached the decision that trucking is the right career change for me. I actually have an engineering degree and a business management degree, but that's not what has made me happy. Everyone agrees that my personality and characteristics make me perfect for OTR. So anyway, I was accepted to train with and drive for Wil-Trans / Jim Palmer. I start March 4th. The research I did tells me that this is a great company to be with. What are y'all thoughts? Do y'all agree that this is a good family to be with? I've read nearly every article and forum post here at Trucking Truth, but am reaching out for any additional tips or advice. I welcome all feedback. A week and a half and the adventure starts! 43 years old and I feel like a kid!
