Hey I live in Greenville and have been thinking about going to Greenville tech for their truck driving school. So I would be interested in hearing how it goes for you.
Have any job prospects lined up yet? Have you ever done a ride along with a trucker to see how it was? Do they even offer that? Let me know what you think...Thanks |
