Avvatar,

Thanks for the advice and encouragement! Im waiting for my hair follicle results and was told those should come back Monday or Tuesday. After that I'll get set up to start training with Roehl up in Wisconsin on May 6th. From everything you've been writing, it makes me all the more happy I'm working with them.

It says a lot that they extended your stay, room etc. to help you get in more practice and truck time. You showed them you really want this and your working to get it. Nothing worth having ever comes easy. You've worked hard and you got this!

Things are bound to go wrong, and crap happens. But it sounds like it was handled well all around.

"hair follicle test positive"?????

I hope you mean negative...

Yes!! Exactly! Sorry, long day.

Avvatar,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting your journey!! I've been reading through and you've helped me a lot tone my anxiety and get an idea on what's to come. Pending a hair follicle test that I'm (99.9%) sure will come back positive, I'll be on my way to Roehl to start my own training in about a week. That was my last step I needed.

I've been thinking about pursuing trucking since last year and have done my share of hours of research, seeking out the good, the bad and the ugly. I feel ready to take on a new adventure! Just not ready to learn how to drive a manual and shift gears but I figure it needs to happen sometime anyway. So why not now. I got this!

Anyway, keep posting and keep up the hard work. Day by day man your doing it!!
