Wish I could help, but don't know anything about that school. I go to school in Tennessee; just not that school.

I take my skills test tomorrow at 1030 central. School has flown by so fast. I should have my CDL-A in hand come Monday. I will even have my tanker endorsement. Super simple endorsement, the test is so easy. Mostly common sense questions.

All goes well i will be on the road by October.

I am going with H.O. Wolding. Pay is on par with a lot of companies that take newbies. The thing that got me was they have a route where one end is in the town I live in. Plus they are a smallish company. 350 trucks or so. They are very personable and friendly. They also were great about keeping contact with me. Even going so far as to give me cell phone numbers to contact them. I want to work for a company where I am not just a truck number.

Haha that's awesome! Gets me excited to start! I have 84 days and counting until I leave for school! Sounds like a great company they run alot of charlotte on I-77 I see them pretty often around here when I go to work! Seems like a great company with great equipment as well! I'm looking at melton truck lines in Tulsa at the end of the year! Hoping to start there soon!
