    LOL.
    First: "typos" is the plural of "typo".
    Second: there should be a comma between "business" and "donkey".
    Third: it is "it's" and not "its".
    And finally: there should be a comma between "typo" and "you idiot".

    To make matters worse: my remark wasn't about your spelling, it was about your lack of respect for other people. Which you clearly displayed again.
    I'll leave it at that. Have a great day, driver.

    I know plenty of drivers without high school education and drive for companies that require the degree. On the application, just check yes, and count on your fingers the year you would have graduated and use that. No company I am aware of will ask to actually see the high school diploma. Also, you can buy fake diplomas online.

    My cousin barely finished high school. When he was discharged from Army 1960's (101st Screaming Eagles), he needed a job. Read about a remote college somewhere that burned along with all the records. He used that college name on his resume for his phoney 4 year degree in business. Landed a job as textile factory manager & stayed there until he retired. No one ever asked, & if they would have, "the college burned" and that part can be proven. He is a very smart guy, just hates school.

    Does anyone really think someone at a trucking company is checking to see if have a High School diploma, or GED ?

    Getting your GED later in life should be for personal satisfaction or to further your education.

    Bekins in El Cajon your town may hire you, they have ads for trade show hauling.
    Also Navajo in Chino may hire you.
    Don't forget, check yes, on high school grad.

    Find a local adult education center that will pre-test or evaluate by giving you some practice tests. You may be closer to passing than you know, or may be able to pass it, now. The one a friend works at will give you screening tests, and let you work on problem areas on a pc, more or less at your own pace.

    Do it.

    What does that have to do with having a diploma or GED? Take a look around, anywhere... even Washington D.C. Dumb comes in all shapes and forms as well as any and all educational background.

    What ever you try doing, especially on this forum, just wouldn't allow the judgements of any others
    to kick around too hard on ya. Be cool, its almost a requirement to make it through the day as a driver. Besides, never seen any one driver that did not have their own short comings.
    (it is easier for me to read through postings with less typos)
