Berserker... thank you for your service...first and foremost.

Thank you kindly for the encouraging words. I always try and have a few plans lined up with 2nd & 3rd order effects from each, so hopefully I'm on the right path with this change.

Fellow truckers, I'm new to this way of life, I'm about to retire from the Army and currently on week 3 of CDL school permit in hand first time go thanks to the due diligence of this site and all the input from all. Y'all are awesome in my eyes. I'm committed to Knight Transportation dry van after a ton of looking, reading, talking with different companies. Long story short, Knight basically has what I am looking for and it just feels like a good place to earn my title amongst this site. Again without this site I do not think I would have been a first time go lol. Also, I should be conducting my Orientation and 4 week training in January. Not my first pick, but how my timeline is with retirement lol. So I look forward to being around for years to come. Thanks again y'all.
