A couple weeks ago I went on a ride along with G-town. The ride cemented my desire to chase this lifestyle. Today, I got my 1 year med card. Now to study for CLP using The High Road Training Program. I'm really excited and happy that I've made steady progress forward. I'm very thankful that I have a supportive wife and the people on this forum.
Bullitt, I am very happy for you and glad our ride-with day was a positive experience for you. I enjoyed our discussions and answering questions. Your attentiveness and focus on the details is a good indication of how you will respond and apply yourself during school and training.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck...and look forward to the prospect of you joining the Walmart Dedicated account. If the planets align, I look forward to training you on DC7030's operation and process.
CLP:
Commercial Learner's Permit
Before getting their CDL, commercial drivers will receive their commercial learner's permit (CLP) upon passing the written portion of the CDL exam. They will not have to retake the written exam to get their CDL.
Thank you G for the well wishes towards my training and hopeful career with Swift!

3/17/20 -
I am sitting down, finally able to go back studying for my permit. With social distancing in place in PA, I've had to adjust to my new daily life, now that my wife and daughter are home. We're been able to reorganize/rearrange things that I can concentrate on my CDL future. I will have to travel to another county to get my testing done. Most likely Berks, which is only 45 minutes away. I just hope I have time to get this done, before anymore restrictions are placed. Interestingly, I had to hunt for CLP application, the Penndot link is broken. I searched and I found it a county website. https://www.co.berks.pa.us/Dept/Sheriff/Documents/dl-31cd.pdf
I shot a msg to my Recruiter at Swift about any changes due to the current coronavirus. I'm awaiting a response from her.
Also, It looks like My wife will be out of a job come April. She's a Transition Kindergarten teacher. Since, we were already gearing up for a life change, we feel will not be as daunting if otherwise.
Now back to the High Road Training Program and the State manual.

I feel your pain man.
Luckily, I was proactive in getting my CLP. Missouri driver testing centers are closed as well.
Let me know what you hear from Swift. I will update my thread regarding Prime's orientation postponement as soon as I know anything additional.

Corona has been impacting a lot. I know NJ MVC’s are down now too. I don’t know how Swift school is affected. I went through last month and am currently with a mentor.
Let me know if you have any questions and good luck.
