Welcome to CAD Kevin,
Ok, so you want to get into trucking? Questions you should ask yourself.
How much do you care for camping? and team driving?
How well do you get along in close quarters to others?
Driving on Amercian Roads is stressful, I get t'ed off just going shopping when dumb dumb, with a handicap sticker, cuts me off, crossing two lanes of traffic to do so. :evil: , as a trucker you have to put up with twice as much stupidity, 100x more often then me, while driving a BIG rig. I am sure you know all this but keep it in mine while you day dream about the "open road" vacation thats calling you. :wink:
oh and one other thing,
:wink: turn off the caps.(in cyber land it means your yelling)
Don't hesitate to ask if you need help.
