    I don't think you will regret it they are a excellent school and great company to work for. Like I said before I haven't been there very long and this is my first trucking job but so far I have no complaints other than home time but that's just part of it, I make good money get plenty of miles and drive nice equipment.

    Fantastic, thanks for the positive words. I'm at an advantage with the home time thing. I'm about to be freshly divorced, and no kids at home. And family and friends spread all over the country. Home time for me is easy, and not required for me to be routed "home".
    Keep on keeping on, it's good hear from someone that is making it work. I don't think VeganTrucker hates working at Henderson either, but I think he's only got a month or 2 in driving solo, but in a previous post, he said he had no regrets.

    Yeah, I've read all the crappy lease stories all over TTR. I have no desire to walk down that slippery slope.

    Leasing will be my very last thought. I already have trouble keeping up with other bills I need to catch up, I don't need any less in my pocket. lol.
    I'm not too worried about hometime either, I'll stay out for awhile making as much I can... I actually ran into a trainer from Facebook, and he's been with them for awhile and they don't sound too bad. They do give great miles as well.
    I'm starting class in the next few hours.

    Going well. I have to get the medical card fixed because the doctor didn't check that I wear eye glasses. So I have to get it done today then get the cdl test done tomorrow.
