Finally Getting in the Saddle!
 
professional drivers; yes it is true. Dtrain is finally going to get in the saddle. I have been posting here for over a year and trying to make up my mind to go into trucking and decide who to work for and how to get trained. Well the wait is over. I start school on 14 March for five weeks here in Pennsylvania. It is a PDTI certified school at LCTI (Lehigh Career and Technical Institute). I decided private school would be better than obligating myself to a company via company-paid training.
There are probably drivers out there like Littleman2, Redsunn21, Patrick, Old Codger, Sanchez, and many, many others saying "its about time!!" Well I'm prepared for it now and am looking forward to the training. So it is off to school for me and soon I will be in the saddle. :D :D :D 8) 8) .
Drivers its snowing out there; be careful. I prefer to speak at ya and not read about ya! Go safely; see you on the big road! :rock: :asta:

Yeah its about time. Good grief dtrain, thought you were taking the slacker exam first at the rate you were going. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Seriously though. One of the reasons many new drivers fail is they jump in without looking, so you taking your time and making sure this is what you want and that you are going about it in the best way for you puts you a step ahead of many.

God luck and remember. If you can see the tread on the bottom of the tires you did something wrong. :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol: :P :P

golf/jetta; it means you are in a position you don't want to be in; with a view that you don't want to see! :oops: :oops: :o :o :cry: :cry: :cry: :roll: :roll: Just like it you can change the taillights of your trailer from the cab of your tractor; you're in trouble. :P :P :roll:
Go safely; see you on the big road! :rock:

"Finally Getting In The Saddle"
 
Good luck to you dtrain. It seems you did all the right things before making a life changing decision. Carry that with you through school and beyond, you'll be a great addition to the road. Again, best of luck to you.

Good luck Train! I know that I am excited now that training is done to get out with my trainer. I am sure after you get through the training you will get that stronger desire and not be able to wait either.

To steal a line from you, "Be Safe and see you on the BIG road!"
