Recruiter left me a message today that everything is good to go. Im excited and stressed at the same time. Excited to finally start a career away from factory grunt work and stressed about leaving my family. It couldnt be better timing though, just came back from vacation in Key West yesterday so at least I got to spend some quality time. Told my boss today that friday would be my last day, he became a bigger ass than normal, so much so that I dont know if I even want to finish the week. I have a lot of studying to do, just wanted to say thank you to everyone on here for helping.

I know how you feel, being excited and stressed, I leave for training on the 22nd to go to swift in Fontana and leaving the family behind, it has been a long time since I was in the Navy and had to leave for deployment, bu I have the same feelings.

Getting accepted was the easy part, figuring out what was the best option took time. When I first decided to make this career change, before I knew anything about this web site, the only companies that came up for cdl training trucking jobs in ohio were Pam and Roehl. I was accepted to Pam first then found this site. After lots of reading I decided Knight was something that fit for me and got accepted to them, but then they changed there setup and now you have to pay for your own lodging, so that was out because Im already going to be strapped not getting a paycheck for a month. I finally decided on prime. I have no idea what the exact dates are on the jobs Ive held for the last 10 years, but I guesstimated and let the recruiters know and they all said it wouldnt be a problem.
