My respect for all you OTR drivers ,

Let's face it. It's not for everyone, and that's okay. If your not happy, your still young enough to do something else. But you have some life experience and you'll always remember trucking, instead of always wondering about trucking.

 

Before you go to some other job for training, put out apps like there is no tomorrow to all the local companies in your area. Even if they say they want 1 year or 2 years experience. If you're planning on giving it up it isn't going to hurt you to do that. Knock on their doors, talk to them in the office. You've nothing to lose if you might be leaving already. Might as well go out swinging.

Truck driving isn't for everyone and there's nothing at all wrong with that,you tried it for 3 months.I'd like to say it'll get better with time and exp but unfortunately it won't.You do however have some exp where some local companies will hire you.

 

What they said...plus, the electrician trade is booming....the big three are begging for them.

 

Where are you located?

Local jobs take some digging but they're out there. Even with no experience.


If you want a "normal" job like you're probably used to working look into driving a concrete truck. You'll have more of a work atmosphere and co-workers you actually see on a daily basis.

 

Good luck on interview.

 

@Jbeltran805 good luck on your interview brother man, I hope everything works out for you. As ms @pattyj says some companies are willing to overlook the experience just remember first impression's matters dress to impress and ask for a chance, worst they can say is no.

 

I worked electrical for years and it pays well. You can utilize your class A cdl toward construction and make very good money especially if you learn to operate cranes. Construction Crane operators make a lot of money.
