Hell yeah. I was laid off from a Contractor Job & on Unemployment. I qualified for a Fed. Grant to my local College for a Credited 10 month CDL Training Program w/ job placement upon graduation. 🤟 I still learned things every day while out but I think you need a minimum of 6 months training 5 days a week, 8hr days & some Saturdays. Made me a great driver & I had X endorsement with HazMat, Doubles, Triples, etc. If it had wheels? I could drive it.. Many people don't know of these Grants available while on Unemployment to retrain & start a new career

I'm in TNt right now and it sucks man. I haven't been home since April 28th. I went to Springfield.. got my license May 29th. Sat around Springfield until June 10. Then got a trainer June 13 and now it's July 5th and I'm in then back end of TNT. At this point, I feel like quitting everyday. I just want my own truck. I've already started applying for other jobs. I havent been home since April. it's July. I'm just over it. I'm honestly just tired.

The grind is real man just hang in there it’s worth it.

Hey man you didn't fail, life happens to us all. I wish you good fortunes in the future.

Hi Rich! Glad to see you're going to be coming back with the videos. Sorry your about the pipes and roof. Whatever you do you got this. Have a Blessed Day.

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Thank you

The way that I look at TNT is that it's a paid internship. One is learning a trade and skill that is going to pay dividends in the future but there's a bit of time until that happens. Once one gets through that first year it's like handing them the keys to their future. Trucking was going to be my "retirement" job but after crunching the numbers and evaluating my future earning potential in the career that I've been in for 17 years, it makes more sense to take an early "retirement" (I'm only 43) and start my new career with Prime. You didn't fail in your quest with Prime. You've learned a valuable lesson that you're now able to pass on to others so that they don't find themselves in the same situation that you find yourself in. That knowledge is valuable and the value of it will one day be paid back to you.

Thank you

Good luck to you! There’s an old saying: man makes plans and God laughs! Sorry to hear of your troubles. Unexpected frozen pipes are awful to deal with! Glad you made the hard choices and are making things happen for you! A great sign of tuff character! I respect that!! I’m headed to Prime early August. I’ve had my share of twists and turns. Gotta keep at it! Again good luck to you!

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Thank you. Good luck

Good to hear from you Rich! Hope everything goes well for you. Still haven't had that famous BBQ everyone talks about. We met at the Plaza building that one time back in November I think. Hope to meet up again at some point. My Son and I are teaming on his lease truck. I may be getting my own lease soon. Thanks again for sharing your update. See you soon!

Lol what!?

[@owneroplife7005]

Wow you were in tnt for a LONG time what was that all about? I finished mine in 5 weeks

[@cloroxnotbleach4451]

You finished 30k miles in 5weeks?

[@owneroplife7005]

@@cloroxnotbleach4451maybe into my 6th week I do know during my 6th week we were heading to Springfield for me to upgrade. My trainer was balls to the wall it was miserable

[@nohippietruckingandtransportat]

I've knocked out the ones I've had in 5ish weeks

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Started in tanker and the miles don’t come fast

[@devahnmurphy6917]

I’m guessing it’s 30k miles all together that the truck runs and not just the miles you drive ?

[@tc3354]

Trainers basically put their life on the line with a individual that has no experience driving over the road!!!! Using them for revenue? That’s a joke.

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

I agree. That’s why I brought it up.

[@nohippietruckingandtransportat]

No hippie was here

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Thanks bro

[@WrightAid]

TNT pays you $900/week right?

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Gross yes

[@gaziahmed2103]

Yup that’s before taxes, after taxes around 500-600, depending on your state tax and etc.

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

That’s it’s if you don’t have a cpap coming and the $600 loan

[@PhillyDomSideDude]

Richie you're going through some things, before you get on KZbin make sure you got your stuff together

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Thanks for watching.

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

[@drjj1289]

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]
