Hi , Kevin here from Chapel hill TN. Well i was born an raised in WV. Me and my family ( wife and kids ) moved to TN in 2010. The factory i worked for after almost 13 yr sold out. And i got a factory job in nashville TN. Which the pay is good and has benefits. But Ive got diesel fuel in my blood. My Dad has been driving since around 1980. He has been a company,team and O/O. Which he is now a local company driver again. I have always wanted to be a trucker ever since i was old enough to talk. I was going to start driving back in 98 but a cute girl caught my eye LOL. I would take a vacation an go out with dad for a week man that was fun. when he would let me drive on the backroads back home i was in heaven. I really shocked myself the first time i drove with my shifting he said i didnt even grind'em the second time i drove he show me how to float'em. he said i was born to drive that was in 2007. Man i miss it LOL. Sorry about the rambling anyway my kids will be out of school in a few years and my wife and i want to go OTR. She wants to see the country and i do to. I ran across this site looking a trucking jobs an info. Now I no the first couple of years my pay will suck and hometime will to. But making 55,000 and working 8 to 5 is not all that great either. I really hate working in factories but i do love my kids. they r the only reason im not driving now. So when they get out of school in a total of 4 yr im hittin the road. I would like to drive otr for a while then find something where i can be home aleast three nights a week. If i could find a local company that would give me a chance i would do it now. well thats a little about me.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll start doing some homework and checking them out.

 

thanks for the welcome. And Im really get the fever it all i can think about.
