Why would you want to ruin your life so early?


HAHAHA Just kidding. But not entirely.

Now would be the only time you have to waste on a driving career. A sort of "get it out of your system' thing. Don't do it too long or you'll end up foregoing an education & possible career in something that pays better with better working conditions.

It varies from person to person. If your not married or to tied down it could be fun and rewarding. There are many different threads about OTR life just search for them. Also, get your CDL now if you can.

The cpm to start with should be the least of your concerns. The money won't mean a thing if you end up washing out of your career, or worse. You want to learn right so you will know your job and love your job.
