    I don't think that anniversary counts. I'm not using that date or my hire date or my time with my trainer. I will use the date I was assigned my truck.

    Use whatever date you want - I see guys with 9 years making poor decisions - and guys with less than 30k miles making the roght ones - in the end it's how you drive and not how long you drive.

    Congrats on getting that year down - no matter how you measure it.

    Some say that you are a rookie until you legally log your first 1 million accident free miles in a big truck.
    Finding the right trucking company is like finding the right person to marry. I really comes down to finding one whose BS you can put up with and who can put up wih yours.

    I was working for the company for 2 years before I got my class A my first tractor was assigned to me in January 2006. I became the yardjockey when they got rid of the 33K LBS truck and replaced it with a non CDL truck. they gave me the choice. cut in pay or get my class A and a raise

    I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but I wouldn't count the date I got my CDL. Your circumstances seem to be different than my own. I will count Feb 23, 2007 as my anniversary date, not way back in October.

    Maybe you should call Claire B Lang. She enjoys ripping off the rookie stripe! :P

    You didn't miss anything. I was just thinking about her show and how they "rip" the rookie stripe off the first time callers. I'm in a wild mood tonight.

    Werner says that only 30% of new licensees are still driving 90 days later...I'd say you are doing pretty well, and you can count any day you want!
