Hang in there, and get that BP under control - it's a big deal in this business.
Brett used to say the whole industry ran on caffeine and blood pressure medicine, or something like that.
Item number once getting home is getting into a doctor about that bp. I have no plan on ending this new career before I begin.
Also planning on getting to exercising again and losing some weight.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.

Made it through week one easy with the evaluation. Almost didn't get that far as my bp almost disqualified me, only have three months to get that under control.
With the school, I got a two year but they might do that for most everybody just to get them started.
Anyways, heading out on Monday about noon from the Atlanta OC with my training engineer. Once returning, we start or final week before getting our trucks.
We started with 22, lost three that first day and are now done to ten.
