My trucking journey

I have to commute. My plan is to stay out 3 to 4 weeks. I have no problem doing this. My goal in the end is to move to North Georgia or the Chattanooga area. Out of curiosity, has anybody moved out of Florida and transferred their CDL to a state like Georgia and Tennessee? If so, what needed to be done?

 

@Chinatown,

I want to be in the southeast in case something happens to family. I know I might sound crazy, but my nephew is 10 years old, and I would like to still be part of his life for the next 8 to 10 years. I have lots of goals. It’s going to be one step at a time to achieve them.

 

I know. I’m going to wait until a couple of things happen in my personal life. I am hoping that once I succeed in this endeavor, everything will start to pan out. I am saying a prayer every day.

I have the support of my vocational rehabilitation counselor, who said that he is going to fight tooth and nail to get me a refresher course down over at Sage in Fort Pierce before I go up and take my road test and do orientation in Rydal Georgia. Also, my family and friends are supporting me 120% on this.

 

honestly, I’m doing it weighing the calculated risk associated with truck driving. Now, if someone told me I had to move to Seattle for my dream job, I would just wait it out. Now I have done very extensive research and I can fly to Orlando via Charlotte from Chattanooga or Atlanta. I can fly into Melbourne from Atlanta or Chattanooga via Charlotte.

Of course, there is always Greyhound into Orlando but I’m not going to resort to that. I’m going to set aside a couple hundred bucks per paycheck for emergencies.
