Okay, good move, the automotive industry is in EXTREME trouble, and at least you're not leaving a highly profitable business like bilking the elderly . Social media has changed a lot. Many marital problems stemmed from not seeing someone for weeks. I live in central Colorado, and keep tabs on what's what for T/T jobs. Seems most company jobs hover start around $60K/year, the more specialized, naturally the pay is better, but takes 1 year minimum. These "starter" jobs aren't the end of the world, in fact, you'll learn a lot of aspects of trucking, you might not in a specialized deal. Couple local jobs near me that needed a year, but great jobs, a mail hauler, a bulk water hauler, lots of dump truck/construction and if you have the grapes, fuel haulers always looking, but rarely a grad. Insurance got the last say there. Good luck, kind of funny, I'm thinking of going back to Michigan, to the UP. Colorado isn't for poor people but a slew of jobs.
