Overcoming difficulties - how did you?
I want to drive- eventually OTR. I have encountered 2 prominent difficulties- First is agility tests designed for 30 year old males second that I opted for Automatic Transmission
I know certain jobs require the strength, but I'm willing to take lesser pay than some- I'm willing to be on the road for lengths of time, however.
I am fresh out of school and finding very real difficulties getting my foot in the door.

Wow - I had no idea they had agility tests. What sort of things do you have to do for that?
You should do fine, Katharina, Marcus J. have some good tips, hook up with some of the company's he's talking to u about and once you get experience, for 6-12 months--you can always change to another company to make more money and possibly get a sign on bonus, Best Wishes, Patricia Robinson
