I just signed up to start the truck driver classes with Driver
Solutions. I live in Alabama and will be traveling to Indiana for
the classes. I am a 48 yr old female and I have been unemployed for
1 1/2 years and I am taking a leap of faith here. I rode in a truck
with my dad some when I was younger and I have contemplated driving
a truck for many, many years but have never taken that step. I have
no money to even make this start and I'm scared to death that my
brain won't retain the knowledge...

There are many others who perhaps are more deserving of this prize.
But in these hard times any one who changes careers at 55 should
receive something for their efforts. First I give my Lord, Jesus
Christ, the credit for the ability to accomplish this task.
You see I had two jobs; driving a school bus and doing maintenance
work for the church where my wife and I attended. The economy
turned sour, people lost jobs, decreased income, as a result I need
to leave the church, the major source of our...

I had a wonderful experience while at the Driver Solutions and the
truck driver training school they sent me to in Indianapolis, IN.
Everyone from the instructors to the administration people were

under.
Mine was a bit more stressful than most I'm sure - as I started
school on Monday and at midnight on Wednesday night I received a
phone call that my mother had passed away :(. Driver Solutions
allowed me to take the 6 days off from...

I arrived at truck driving school in Fort Wayne, Indiana on July 4,
2011 unsure of what to expect. I began classes the following

to take, cups to pee in (lol) all after being talked to by John
Triplett, the school director, (who was awesome!). Then Ivan
(classroom instructor) came in after lunch and began our classroom
training. He made the days fun with his uncanny charm and
demeanor!
Week 2 began with all of us "newbies" on the...
