Is it possible to be a trucker and have a side business with computers?

Yes, if you can stuff all them parts in the truck along with your clothes and everything, and then work on the stuff when you're supposed to be sleeping, and then able to sell your stuff on the 2 or 3 days you have at home once a month.

 

Depends on what type of computer business , Kind of hard to solve a system crash for a client in NJ when your travelling across Arizona on a hot load with no TIME.

 

Well yeah but, you could also sell the product in a truck stop and help drivers with their laptops. Heck, I've helped a few install Trip-pak scanning. Made $5 in tips from each.

 

as a company driver at first,it would be hard to find time to tinker with any puters in the truck.im new on puters but wrench on vehicles and been driving since high school.i do know if you live in a company truck they will keep you in that rig for a minimum of 2weeks.they will either push you so hard you cant breath after a few days or you'll get a dispatcher thats an idiot and starves you out.its feast or famon when you first start.now,when you make it to having earned the respect of those morons in the office,you'll have some time on your hands.if you ever go so far as to buy your own truck...with the right plan,you could run a puter shop out of the truck if you wanted to..

 

WOW,a kid who wants to earn a living doing something he that will make him happy rather than how much it pays or how much easier the work is.The country needs more like that.

 

lets remember if your just getting out of HS you have to be over 21 to drive interstate. In state is less but most OTR companies want you to be 23 or better.
If you were my son I would tell you go get a computer degree then go drive a truck
then when you want to settle down you have something to fall back on and be home

 

With all honesty, With all the new regulation, Would be quite hard to do, Well?, Unless you dont need any down time, Remember the body needs rest, and driving can be very tire-some, Being a rooky driver at the start?, I would recommend you concentrate on driving, you can get a intrastate CDL at 18, but you need to be 21 for a inerstate CDL
