You did get a good taste of what OTR is about!
I heard a stat many yrs ago that 60% of new CDL drivers drop out of the industry within 9 mos.
Then over the next 1-2 yrs, many drop out due to several reasons:
1) The OTR life is not for them---away from family & friends, long out times vs. short home times, etc.
2) Incidents & accidents affect their 'value' within the industry if try to keep/chg jobs.
3) The vulnerability for tkts and DOT violations during inspections/while crossing scales also can affect their trucking reputation.
All that has to be weighed if one wants to stay in the industry 'long-term' as a career.
