Be safe guys, much love
You've got a good head on your shoulders and seem to see things they way they are and plan accordingly.Thank you for the insight.
I'm placing my name on a bid list tonight at my employer. Some positions just opened and the head of HR suggested I get my name on that list.
If selected then my employer will provide the training and the rig for test day and I can stay where I'm at just move into a CDL position.
At least now I have another iron in the fire.
If that doesn't pan out then I have a recruiter at Swift I'm speaking to. The Swift application asks if I have a CDL or don't have a CDL. So if I strike out with option 1 at my current employer then I believe I'll pay for the training and rig for testing with the local small outfit then proceed with Swift and see what they offer. There's also Stevens Transport I'm looking at., they're reefer and irregular routes.
My main focus is to proceed cautiously and not get locked into something where I'm going to be making .21/mile and struggling to buy a loaf of bread and jar of peanut butter to survive on every paycheck.
You're going to be just fine.
Keep us posted on your progress.
