Well, the stars aligned and the full moon shined in my favor.

CFI has agreed to fully sponsor me as I go through CDL school at Central Tech.

Depending on cancellation, I will either start this Wed or the one following.

Once I finally get in my own truck, my hubs will join me and it will become our new life.

Any tips or hints on survival through all this?

I plan on doing a training VLOG...documenting our massive life change. 😳

Can't wait to join all y'all out there.

Laters,

Cher

Welcome to the Trucking Truth Forum. One of our members recently posted an excellent training diary, eventually he signed on with CFI and was recently upgraded to a solo truck. Here is Big Scott's Diary

You can follow his road training adventures with CFI as well by using the search bar found in the upper left hand corner of this page by typing his name and CFI.

Wouldn't hurt to check these three links out either...

Good luck!

I registered last week for Central Tech in Drumright. They have such a great reputation, I can't wait to start. I didn't sign on with anyone, and I was told I'd see around 10-12 recruiters. Looking forward to reading about your experience.

EPU:

Electric Auxiliary Power Units

Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices
