    Hello Truckers of America,
    I am involved in the Jefferson County Workforce (Golden, Colorado) program trying to get them to pay for me to go to the CDL College in Denver, Colorado.
    Workforce wants me to research truck driving and submit a report to their board so I can be approved to have my tuition paid.
    To make my life busier Jefferson County Workforce asked that I interview six truck drivers so I am posting my Interview Form online. If six truckers can help this starving student to get into CDL College by filling out the form and submit everything on the forum so others can learn too I would appreciate the help a whole lot.
    Below is a copy of my interview form that you can cut and paste I hope.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Charlie Horse

    Tell the people giving you money you can't find anyone. Any organization worth their salt should be able to set you up. I had to do that too, but with driving students. They just called two students in and had me interview them

    Charlie if you are going to make that work you have to upload it in .pdf format so the form will open on members computers and have the ability to fill it out and return it to our server.

    You need to edit it as you don't need any names and addresses. That's redundant info.

    As far as phishing? No it isn't. This isn't the first one we have had. Some workforce centers require this for WIA funding.

    Hi Charlie,
    Why not take your survey and head over to the nearest truck stop that has an Iron Skillet or similar restaurant. Grab yourself a seat at the counter - which is where the truckers interested in conversations often sit - and talk to a few truckers face to face.

    It might cost you a few cups of coffee (to the truckers) but you may walk out of there with more information that what's on the survey and a new friend or two.

    Just my two-cents...
