Thanks for the reply Anne! I did not take Mr G-Towns words harshly at all honestly, I was making sure that it was realized that I'm not here to mess around or waste anyone's time. And I take his and anyone else's words and replys here with seriousness and respect, honestly if he feels like I have all the information that I should need, then I will halt on asking for other info like was the original question of mine in the post here, I have read through a bunch of his posts here and have seen that G-Town is a successful and happy in the industry, he knows more than I do and it would probably be foolish of me not to listen and take note of such replys from him, you, or any of the other experienced guys that may answer on my posts.

Also thank you for the extra sites and companies, I appreciate you answering me! Hope the weather isn't too cold over there on your side of Ohio, it's a good bit chilly for me over on my side!

Also thanks for pointing out I didn't attach my photo, I reposted it. I misunderstood how to attach it to the post lol

Also I am 28. Turning 29 here on the 1st of February.

Thanks! -Canaan

Forgot to attach the photo oops

Thanks again for the reply G-Town, I appreciate the time you all take to answer my questions. As for the answers to yours, to he honest sir, I am not sure exactly what I am looking for, I tend to over analyze things. I do know that much. I was only asking because I didn't want to be looking else where than here on trucking truth and see info that may or may not be true and confuse myself. While I am working on discovering my ailment I am taking the time to find any and all info I can about just about everything trucking.

And lastly, I did join over a year ago, and I was 100%, ready to take the plunge and join up with whoever would take me, but I got sick then and am still trying to discover the cause of what's going on. Because of covid being the thing I was not able to get into any Doctors and ended up losing my health insurance because of not being able to work. (Not asking for pity or anything like that, I'm not that kind of person. just explaining why I didnt end up already taking the plunge)

If what I've already been given is more than enough for taking the next step, I will just be spending the time I have reviewing and such and will refrain from asking any other questions regarding outside Information.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer, it is greatly appreciated. Safe travels! (I realize all my questioning may be doing more harm than good, I could very well be overly working myself up which is definitely not the plan here)

Canaan you joined over a year ago and at that time basically asked a similar set of questions. You asked about other trucking websites as well. With all of the research you have claimed to do, what exactly are you looking for that you haven’t found?

IMO we have provided you with plenty of information, more than enough to take the next step.

I believe this is the right thread

Hey G-Town thanks for the reply. Is our list here on trucking truth a current list of the starter companies? I mean, I have done my reading up here while waiting to find and cure my ailment that's keeping me from taking the plunge(just got new testing done and might finally have it figured out) and I know that you guys here say it's up to me to make the company that I choose be good for me. I was just looking for a current database of available companies for non cdl beginners like myself, while waiting I like to do my research on the companies and find out which ones for example. Hire in my area, offer the company paid training (and hire for that in my area). Don't care too much about the pay scale (yet) as even 40k for my first year would be an embarrassing amount higher than my normal yearly salaries from any previous job.

Thanks! -Canaan

Thank you for the reply, do you happen to know of a site other than here that I can see company information? Basically just looking for a database of the available companies and those that offer the company paid training. The research of each company I can manage once I figure out all their names Thanks -Canaan

It all depends on what information you’re searching for. Technical information about trucks or cb radios, good restaurants and places to park, it’s great. If you’re looking for information about companies, run like hell because it’s nothing but doom and gloom.

Is truckers report.com a good site as additional info for the industry? Is anyone familiar with the site? Or is there any recommendations of sites that I can use for the most up to date info on the different trucking companies? And possibly have reviews from employees and such? I tried glassdoor, but it doesn't seem honest.

Thanks! -Canaan

Silently following along here, flatbed is where I'll be heading once Im ready to start my journey. Thanks for doing your journals here. Bunch of useful (and current) information. Much appreciated and good luck!

That is one adorable dog

For fantasy topic (magic, magical creatures this and that) you could check out carnival row on Amazon prime. My only gripe with it (and most any show these days) is the amount of sexual content in it. But... aside from that. It's a a good show and really hits the fantasy itch.
