Good for you Fry, hope you enjoy it. I used to love going to the places I had heard about when I was a kid, and the stuff I saw on TV growing up, It was cool to actually be there.

Been driving for about a year now. I lucked out and got on at a local delivery company. I run anywhere between 100-450 miles a day but I get to go home at night.

I've been driving since 1987, but I've been driving tour buses since 2001. I want to jump back in a truck every once in a while to keep up my chops. I do put my 24ft trailer behind the bus sometimes and have put on a few driving seminars with it just to freak people out.

Sounds good StarDriver, I missed it when I was away from it, It's good to be back out there and not babysitting some snotty nosed actor with an attitude problem anymore.

Sorry Tony, missed your post. After 16 years in the movie industry, it was a lot of them. Captain Kirk really is on a 5 year mission to God knows where, Jessica Alba is a spoiled brat with a big attitude, Kiss is 4 guys that hate each other to the point they won't stay in a room together, Ringo Star has a hissy fit if you look at him at all, van Dam is a real loser, got beat up in a bar by a driver and had to be saved by a security buddy of mine, Rick Moranis from Sat night Live called the cops because 3 teenage girls about 13-14 wanted his autograph, Lucy Lawless the Princess warrior is an absolute doll, and is a really nice person in every way, Rod Steiger is a gas when he's tuned, which is most of the time, Lew Diamond Phillips is a great guy, as is Eddy Almos, lots of fun, and very respectful of everyone, J Low is a freak, Tom Arnold was a gas, if he liked you, but the majority of them are spoiled petty little people that you wouldn't give the time of day to, and most of them don't smile unless there is a camera pointed at them, and most of the pretty ladies aren't till they come out of the make up chair hahaha.

OK, so I dont have a truck, and I dont really have access to one other than a Fire Truck, so with that being said, how could I go about getting my CDLs? I would like to get my A's. Is there really any way that a guy could get that?
