Big Texas Hello

Hi I am at 52 for various reasons looking at trucking for a career change. I like to make informed decisions and try to do as much research as possible before diving into something new. I have been browsing the site to get an idea of how I need to proceed. I like to do things in steps and since I am not a big risk taker when it comes to income for my family I want to try and transition from my current employer to trucking with as little interruption as possible.

This site has a wealth of people and knowledge that I hope can help me avoid making mistakes in my decisions. I see my first step as getting a CDL and I am currently looking at how best to accomplish this. For me with no truck driving experience I think I probably need to look at a good truck driving school. I will be paying out of pocket so trying to get the best training for the money is important to me.

I just wanted to say Hello and introduce myself to this site and I hope to someday meet several of you on the road. Thanks for reading and any sage advice you can offer me would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for the welcome, I am hoping it fits with me. I have always been a hard worker and hope this is a good move for me financially. I have a job now that pays good but job wise not what I want to do until retirement. I will appreciate everyone's hindsight and experience. Thanks again for the hello.
