I am currently unemployed and I have been researching the industry since the summer of 2009 ! and i have never seen so many complaints about this industry, one after another. I am starting to rethink my consideration in becoming a truck driver, can anyone in this forum explain to me why i would want to be a driver, besides the obvious reason of just having a job ? Also i live in Texas and i only found two schools that are certified by the pdti, and who or what is the pdti ? are they the j.d. power and associates of the truck driving school industry ? Any comments would be helpful.
