Happy 2020 everyone!!! I am a current 18 year CDL CLASS B holder and as of this past Friday January 24, 2020 I now hold a CDL CLASS A PERMIT. I was with the same job for almost 20 years up until late 2019 when I came to a crossroad in my life and realize that I wanted to do something different for 2020 and beyond. More less a new chapter in my life. So I decided that I wanted to go and upgrade my CDL to a class A, and become a truck driver and to travel the country. One of my dreams has always been to travel and see God's beautiful creation. I been searching the web for trucker companies with good training and now, after doing a lot of research, reading reviews, and talking to a recruiter from "Wilson Logistics" I believe in my heart that I finally found a company that I can soon call home away from home, so please stay tuned in for my upcoming diary & other future posts, and follow me as I begin my new life long-awaited adventure as a trucker, I am sure that it will be a blast, and one last thing always remember...…….

Everyday is not a good day, but something good is in everyday!!!!!!

Drive safe!!!!!!
