BOL to you and live the excitement up now cuz it will soon go away.

 

okay guys! here's an update. I GOT THE JOB!!! Wooo, i guess I just worried for no reason. After the second interview, things just rolled by quick a few days later I got a call asking me when I could start. Basically I start on Monday, everything worked out great. I went to two interviews, and got both jobs and just chose the better. The better one is great because it has the best benefits, base salary, and only 20 minutes from home. not only that I only have to drive a straight truck.

So my advice for all you guys who are in the same situation as me, 21 and no experience, just keep trying!. Make sure you try and get an interview at every company you see, every single truck you see, and make sure when you get that interview that you are very presentable!

Thanks guys!

 

CONGRATS! Way to go!!!

 

Hah...back in the day, that was the LAST of my problems....after a "session", I'd go thru the fridge/cupboard like Sherman went thru Georgia. ...uh at least I think....ummm if memory serves....ahh never mind

 

Good job man,..now keep that license clean,.....it all that matters.

 

Way to go!!!! Just don't screw it up by doing something stupid. A clean record will carry you far. A bad record will have you flipping burgers. :wink:

 

I found out the hard way,....I kept my license clean for 7 years, and recently I was out fooling around on my bike,,.....long story short, I was riding wheelies on an empty back road, and there's the law. He writes me up for racing on the highway, even though I never exceeded the speed limit. (a 1 year suspension). I had to hire an lawyer to fight this thing down to a no points charge of unsafe start.
I suppose I deserved it, but there was no traffic, and it seemed safe enough to me.
Point is,...I was breaking the law,...I knew I was, and that little stunt could have cost me my license (especially a CDL, they tend to take it more seriously if you have a CDL).
It didn't matter that I have not had even a parking ticket since I got my CDL in 99, I think a warning would have been sufficient,...but it escalated from there,.....cost me $1,000 to get it reduced, and now I'm more careful,...even on empty back roads.Basically no more stupid stunts.

 

If you want ease your mind a little more go the the drug store and buy a home drug test.

 

soooooooo stevebooth.... you say you used to smoke in the 70 's ? and now you dont smoke unless it's at least 80 degrees out ? :lol:
