I talked to a neighbor of mine who has driven for some 50 years and told me
To start with central get some experience then go to a " higher end company"
That has better opportunities miles runs etc. I want to get with a
More regional co and like heartland and schinder both have western
Regional devisions and seem to be more stable companys but you
Have to have experience once I get my one year in and have around
100k miles I will have a lot more doors open to me ..but right now
Central seems the best place to be -
Curios, were they let go by central??, or quit??
I have done alot of research on training and companies, Central appears too be a good training company,and for that matter a company worth staying with as long as the life style suits you and you incorparate preplanning in too your daily routine. Lease/owner option seems a lil risky as the economy is not stable, in better economic times probably makes more sense, Obamanomics is still untested
thanks too all for the input..... -

A lot of my families issues are that I would be on the road all the time and that I have health issues. I have an Arthritic Autom immune disease and Crohn's disease that have wrecked my life for the last 2 years. I'm getting to the point where I understand stand it pretty well and know my limitations. Plus I got some new medication that seems to be helping. I won't have a problem with any kind of DMV physical requirments or anything like that and can do the job. I decided to go with reefers because its less physically demanding than flatbeds or even vans, to make it easier on myself.
I moved away from home at 18 at went to college and worked 30 hours + a week. When I was 20 going on 21 my body just kind of crashed and I got much more arthritis than the average old person. I quit working and dropped out of school and gained 45 pounds from being inactive.
Now I'm 22 figuring out the diseases and lost about 20 of the 45 gained pounds. I want to get on with my life and start getting things done. I don't plan on making driving a longterm career especially since the disease is progressive and I would end up retiring after 5 to 10 years.
I'd like to drive 1 1/2 to 2 years and save all the money up. I figure I could save 30,000 to 40,000 thousand dollars up in this time period. I'd be able to buy 2 or 3 rental duplexes that would secure my future and have money leftover to go back to school.
Currently I work as campus police at a university which is kind of like a glorified security guard and pay is just above minimum wage. I honestly believe that trucking will secure my future and keep me from going on disability in my late 20's.
I think if I make this into a speech and tell my family they won't mind if I go into trucking. I just got to get moving now or I may never. -

It is the old mind set, "Well I'm worth a lot more than they are paying me"; WRONG!
Now keep in mind, they not only left Cental they have left trucking too....
