See Wendy? What did I tell you . . . in a short while you will be so confident of what you DO know that the stuff you DON"T know will just seem like a small investment of time away, if you get my drift . . . it's a good feeling to see the personal growth as it occurs, isn't it? Just keep that attitude and you'll do real well . . .

Kevin, There is so much to know before we get into school. What I have decided for sure is .... 1) I am going to a private truck school. I do not want to be Obligated to anyone. 2) I pretty much have decided its either Prime or Knight 3). LOL well, there isn't a third knowledge yet. I have to pick the brains of these fine folks here. Right Jopa?

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

I have been considering this industry for several months. I would like to just ask a few questions.
Would it be a good idea to get permit before going to a school or company? Should I get as many endorsements as feasible?
Thank you all for your time.
