Hello. First, I want to thank you for responding to my post. Your reply is greatly appreciated. In June of 2015, I lost my last job which was working in a prison in Colorado. I was fired because I let a certain prisoner hug me. Anyway, I can no longer work in a prison - that was my first and last job in a correctional facility. So I returned to North Carolina, began a MS in Human Resources Management online, and chauffeured my son to and from the bus stop in town. He is in the early college program that is closest to us in the county in which we live, but the high school where the program is is too far away from where we live for the school bus to pick him up and drop him off here at home. He has his driver's license now, so he drives himself to the community college that is near the high school and where he has his classes, except for House at the high school. He finishes school in May but will need my car until his Dad helps him get one in September. I have to drive my parent's car when I need to go somewhere, but he has never driven it so I let him drive mine. So Thomas started high school and early college in August of 2015. I began online school in October of 2015, and I completed that degree in September of 2018. Also, with all the driving for Thomas, I couldn't even get a part-time job - a recruiter told me that no employer could work with that schedule. Then, in December of 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage 3A breast cancer on my right. I had a complete mastectomy and 23 lymph nodes were removed from under my right arm. I did well with chemotherapy and radiation, and escaped with only a few side effects. I finished my last treatment in August of 2019. So I will be able to start working by October of 2020. I am learning the manual and taking the tests on the High Road CDL Training. I had lessons many years ago to learn how to drive stick shift, but I did not have the time to finish learning that. I have heard that many companies have automatics. But, is it possible to learn to drive a manual during the CDL training? I know that you spend a lot of time driving with C.R. England's training program. If I left out anything, please let me know and ask whatever you want to ask. Tina

Hi. I haven't worked since June of 2015. So, I am wondering what that means for my chances of getting into a company-sponsored CDL training school. I have been studying and know that I need to get my CDL permit. You can also email me at norristina242@yahoo.com.
