I want to thank U all for the honest advice. I have decided not to be so hard headed and look into working for someone else for awhile. The company that I work for has 3 daycabs and does some regional hauling. I have e-mailed the local community college about thier weekend class a course. It is 240 hours and they work with about 230 different companies to get you placed in an otr job or a local job depending on what u want. I figure that it cant hurt to have some formal training and exp. to make sure that this is actually going to work out for me. I will still check into insurance as well so we will see what happens. I figure the good lord will open the right doors for me in due time. The worst part is calming down and having patience. Thanks again

Hey everybody,
Update on driver training. I have looked into so many schools now its making my head spin lol. I have found a school in Baltimore run by all state career. It is a PTDI certified class ( i assume this is better than one that is not) Waiting on a call back from the recruiter with the tuition info and such. The local community college is backed up for awhile so I am thinking of just going straight through a school and getting it over with ( VS. weekends for several months) Any insight on all state or the ptdi cert. would be appreciated.
