There are many different types of trucking all done 3 ways. Local, regional, over the road. Making money is nice no matter the profession but trucking will not work if you do not enjoy trucking or are not good at driving. If you aren’t good at driving a car backing up a truck will give you anxiety attacks. That being said it can be stressful if you can’t manage people. Gotta manage your clock, deal with dispatchers, deal with shippers and receivers, find parking, find food or grocery shop -otr-regional-
Then you’d have to decide if you want to stay in dry van or pull tankers ( gotta learn how to load unload, deal with surge, pull flatbed (you’d had to learn how to chain and tarp) .line haul or pull doubles there’s plenty of ways to do it.
A couple questions to ask
Do you have kids/ wife ? If so a local or regional job might be better
Are you ok with missing holidays or family events?
Would you be ok living in a truck or would you need a home?
Are you a mon-fri worker? Must you have weekends off?
