Right now I'm currently seeking employment. As far as the prehire post, that's one of the things that I'm worried about. I read on classadrivers.com that a recent student got all the way to CFI's orientation and he was turned away by the safety dept. for some reason or another. He had to find his own way home. I'm afraid that it will happen to me. Which would really SUCK!!! I'm wanting this so bad because its all that I've dreamed about doing. Even now, when a truck passes or I pass a truck i try to guess the truck's brand and the company if its not on the trailer. I really need this for my family and to fulfill my dream of driving big rigs. But on the other had, it doesn't hurt to wait a year to ensure that i have a less chance of being the guy that CFI's safety dept. turned away. I'm giving it a lot of thought. I have til Sept. 5th to make up my mind. Especially since if they dont accept me then i'll be stuck with the rest of my tuition from CDL training school. Hey at least if they dont accept me, by the time i really insurable I'll already have my CDL. I thank you all for your replies and I will really think hard about this decision.
