    Hello all,

    After being out of trucking for almost 2 years after working for May Trucking, Knight Transportation and gave O/O a shot. I'm back! Took some time off for school, looked into the possibility of becoming a Corrections Officer and all while waiting to hear back from these agencies though a little connection I was presented with a local job with a private fleet that I could not say no to!

    So here I am! Missing the long hauls but enjoying my cushy local home every night work a 3on/4off-4on/3off 6pm-6am sched. I haul tankers and dry-van both "no-touch" so I can't complain....Life is good!

    Chuck the corrections career unless you have plans on trrying to go federal like TSA or Deputy corrections. Trucking is way more cool and seeing the country is always a bonus. Welcome to our forum and congrats on getting such a cushy job!!

    Thanks Heirforce1, you are right....And the whole thing about getting poop and pee thrown at me didn't really seem to appealing.

    EMT good luck on your journey! I wish you the best!
