Default ...Hey Skipper!

Hey Skipper of the Sea Que.....Ahoy there...thanks for the 'We sell for Fat Lazy LESS'.....very excellent photo of the back of a Wal-Mart 53' box van! Speaking of which.....I sure wish I could get a job as a Wal-Mart driver out of their Raymond NH distribution center except Wal-Mart will not even consider a driver unless he/she has something like 300,000 miles of driving in the last three years. Wal-Mart drivers have to be very very experienced!
I just recently completed a 12 week/$4500. CDL-A truck driving course at New Hampshire Community Technical College in Littleton NH and was even able to pass the NH Dept Motor Vehicle tests for a CDL-A driver w/ tanker, haz-mat, & double-triples endorsements. However, I have absolutely no truck driver experience except for the school experience and am having a very difficult time finding a somewhat local trucker job in the Meredith area. It looks like I may end up as a long distance trucker with www.goroehl.com out of Groveton NH if I can make it through their 24 day orientation. They have you drive with a trainer from like South Dakota to Georgia, or somewhere, and back a few times, and live in the truck . After that, I think I like their seven day on/off schedule.....sort of a seven day trucking adventure...ulp....but what do I know. Maybe, you want to take a peek at www.roehldriver.com, to see what's going on with the truck drivers.

And don't forget, everything you own probably got there on a truck, or at least fell off a truck!
