    I have a full-time job that pays a little over $100K per year and I get about 3 months off per year. It's a good job and I go to work all preppy every day. Well, I've always been attracted to the trucking industry and wonder if I could ever work on a seasonal / part time basis. My interest is based on me wanting to get some experience and also to make even more $$ on my time off of my main job.

    I look forward to knowing what the possibilities are.

    Thanks for your help guys and gals!

    If I had a job that paid me well, and gave me lots of time off to go

    1. Travel to the Philippines or Thailand
    2. Deep sea fishing
    3. Be a hired mercenary on cargo ships and blow Somali’s in speedboats out of the water
    4. Go on really long motorcycle trips

    I would instead go find another job and grind it out. Go look for work at a temp company and drive when you want to.

    You must be a school teacher or university professor.
    As @TripleSix posted; attend a cdl school, then hire on with a temp agency that uses cdl drivers. This way you work when you want to.

    In an earlier post you claimed to have no interest in driving a truck and were even terrified of them?

    Get your CDL, get a job, then quit in a couple months. The people who are going to hire you as a newb won’t care that you are quitting, they are used to it.
     
    MrAffinito Thanks this.

    Why would someone with no interest in driving a truck be on a trucking forum?

    HA;) but would they say they had no interest in trucks? Maybe huh? Then they could catch someone like me saying what I said. Good thing I’m in a position not to give a you know what. LOL
