Swift School Over! CDL Test coming!

Well, last Friday I tested out of Swift School. I actually finished top of my class! I had a 96% class grade and missed only 2 points on the road test (and they were really stupid things too). Wednesday I go back to Jonestown for some practice and brushing up on my skills, then Thursday at noon I have an appointment with the testing facility (3rd party tester for PennDOT) . Next Monday I have orientation with Swift, and then I'll be off with my mentor for 6 weeks. I'm not too sure I like the idea of the mentor thing, although It's good for students, I just don't like the idea of being cooped up in a truck with some random dude. I shall, however, get on with it and get it done so that I can get out there and start making money. Money I fear will become a big problem here very quickly if we don't get some of it soon. There are several bills that are about to be big problems for us if the cash doesn't start flowing soon, including vehicles. I've been considering a voluntary repo of the Sebring as it's $200 a month that could better be used elsewhere, but I really don't need that on both of our credit reports. The main reason I'm considering that at this point is that we're behind a couple payments and with me on the road, I won't be needing a vehicle at Jonestown, so ..... What to do?

I probably won't get rid of it as the wife really likes it and it is a nice car. I just hope the money fairy shows up soon...

I'll update again after my CDL test (hopefully good news!).

Thanks for reading!
