I can say that I am truly looking forward to the whole experience. I just re-read my last post and it actually sounded a lot worse than what I meant for it to, the thing that I am seeing the most around here is that this truly is a life style, and for a lot of people to change their life is hard if not impossible so I wanted to give a perceptive of yes it is possible and yes you can have a great time with CR England but it is also a new beginning its like learning how to crawl all over again and then walking and soon you are running. Yeah friends and family from the previous life is left behind, though so if someone is too attached then they shouldn't be doing this job and thats not just my opinion but the instructors here have all said basically the same thing. As far as pay well the numbers look good but are they reality? honestly I am not sure I have seen and heard a lot of negative, but I've seen some of the positive as well. I am setting my expectations at only enough for food and basic necessities if I make more then thats good if I can only make that though then I will be happy. As far as what I plan to run well as I mentioned in the last post I have no place really to call home so I just want to go. I don't care if its across the street or across the country and thats the way i will look at it. For me turning down loads or spending my time in a truck stop just seems like the dumbest thing in the world to do I just don't see a point. provided I have the DOT hours and there is a load for me I want it. I haven't really set any long term or short term goals for myself at this point to be honest only because I am not completely sure of everything. I believe though in researching before I do anything and I want to provide the best information and give my honest opinion to anyone else that may want to do the same.

Besides that, who the hell stays out for six months against their will, if in fact the OP wasn't bending the fact a little.
