the crapy thing is ive been driving the damn things for years but never got my foalblown CDL because of farmers exemption, backing up a super- b train fully loaded with hay is a snap, i really wish i would have jumped on the opertunity:argh:

I started out at a feed mill - drove for 6 months without a cdl - took written and then driving - that was 15 years ago but I know there are alot of rock hauling companies in Des Moines (wife used to work at a rock quarry up there) - my brother-in-law and father-in-law both run concrete pumps in Des Moines - pumping concrete is a fun job, it's like getting paid to play with a big remote control truck - in Iowa there is a great company called Sun Concrete Pumping (they are union so the pay is great - maybe around $25/hr after 90 days) - I've been pumping for almost 15 years and love it - in TX the money is less but you get to work all year, ends up close to the same (between $50 & $60 k per year) - If you need some phone #s for some people up there let me know - some will help you get your cdl - good luck

:lol: Yea, don't know anything personally about the school, but the trucks they use now are 02 and up freight shakers. Just an Idea probably cheaper that college, which I never knew they had classes for driving truck otr.... :humm:

cummins crazed dont be worried about getting a cdl go to a local trk stop and see what rolls in and if you are scared that their intelligence exceeds yours than find a cliff and jump. if you dont jump do what the one guy said and get your own trk after a little expirience (cuz if you are just learning you dont want to tear up your own equipment) and last if your go otr just remember if its too go to be true avoid it this got me in trouble on the road good luck!!!
