I'm Off To Training
Topic 22562 | Page 1
Great to read you're journey is about to start. Attitude makes the difference.
Incidentally, I'll be in Ohio tomorrow morning.
Well, I wondered sometimes if it was going to happen. I've been hitting delay and roadblocks at every turn. But Sunday I'm off to Trainco in Ohio. Very excited/nervous about it but I'm ready to persevere.
Awesome news! And to think I left Ohio to get CDL training. 
Congratulations!!! Let the journey begin...
Incidentally, I'll be in Ohio tomorrow morning.
Some irony! My wife is leaving Ohio tomorrow morning to join me here in Cedar Rapids for Saturday night.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Best of luck Rob. Your persistence paid off.
Congrats Robsteeler! From reading your posts I believe will not only persevere but you’ll conquer whatever hurdles come your way. All the best!
Thanks guys! I’m packing for tomorrow right now. 😃
Congratulations, Robsteeler! This is indeed exciting. I wish you all the best and look forward to updates on your progress.
Best Regards, Colin K.
Best of luck and have fun!!
Okay, guys and gals. I'm at the hotel laying in bed! 550 miles today, in the worst traffic. I guess I'd better get used to it! 😂 Did the hot tub, and pool and got a long shower. I don't even think I'll look for food! I'm nervous/excited/missing my family already. This is hard for me because I haven't been away from my wife in 24 years! Should have smuggled her in my duffle bag! I think it'll be good for us to spend a little time away from each other though. Let us miss one another. I just need to get used to it. Thanks for all the encouragement. I'll try to keep track of what happens so I can possibly do a training diary.
