Thank You Brett and all of the veteran drivers that have dedicated there time, and wisdom to this wonderful site. I have been lurking in here for about six months kind of like a sponge, soaking it all up. Today I finished my final day of CDL training at MTI in Springfield, Missouri I scored 98% average on my permit tests. (Tested, General Knowledge, Combination, Air Brake, Doubles ,Triples, and Tanker.) and am very sure that it was because of this great site and your excellent CDL training materials.
I also know that some of the fine people at MTI speak highly of this site, and personally I think that they should know that there efforts and dedication was a great help, and is greatly appreciated. I paid for the four week training so that I would not find myself committed to a company with a bill and contract, it was affordable and accredited plus they helped to place me with a smaller company that I think I will be happy with.
I am looking forward to starting my new job on Monday and know that I will continue to lurk here and learn from honest and true professors of trucking until I feel that I have some small nuggets of wisdom that I might be able to share with others already here, and those that follow in their tracks, I would like to give a shout out to Todd and Kym, you will not be forgotten and I am very grateful to you both.
And to all you Masters of the Big Rigs here on TT I salute you, keep the shiny side up, the dirty side down and may your HOS be plentiful. Hope to meet you all out there.
