i'm tired of working retail. I work at a gas station right now and I've become quite well at it. The pay stinks and I feel like I'm not fulfilling my life. meaning I can do 110% better. The good news is that my driving record is clean. I put an average of 30,000 miles per year on my car.
i'm just tired of not living up to my full potential. I'm sorry if I have burned any bridges on this networking site. I'm just wondering if any of you guys who have been in my shoes before can you give me some advice. I'm about to turn 40 next year and I don't wanna live my life in regrets.
Has anybody on here started driving at that age and transitioned into an office role? if you think I would be better at local jobs, please let me know. right now I'm looking at regional and maybe local driving jobs. i'm very smart and intelligent.
also, I'm throwing this out there, if anybody could PM me, I would be happy to buy them coffee just to sit down and get some real world advice. I'm sorry to bother you guys and gals. i'm open to answering any questions you might have within reason.

Many drivers start late in life after retiring from other jobs. Some start trucking in their 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's.
CalculatedRisk Thanks this.
