Hi y'all!

Hi everyone,
I am brand spankin' to the whole world of trucking. I am a single, overweight, newly graduated (got my bachelors in May) female and am having a lot of trouble of getting a real job. I was wondering if being quite overweight but healthy in other respects (no high blood pressure-yet, no heart issues, no diabetes etc) will affect my ability to get a trucking job. I am working on losing it but it will be a journey and unfortunately most places I have a decent chance with because of experience/education I don't and I am more and more sure that it is due to my appearance. I have plans to go to law school in 5-10 years unless trucking becomes something I can't part with. I was wondering if there are any others out there that have no dependents, or bills and if so, is the money pretty decent? I will only have a student loan payment and a small monthly fee for my pets to be taken care of by my family. I would love any advice you guys have for me, and I have decided if I can't get a local job by mid-August (been looking since early May) I will Attempt to get a loan for the CDL classes at my local community college as I have decided that I don't want to be locked in with a company, not that I job hop I just don't like the idea of a contract. Obviously if I can't get the funds to go I will research best paid CDL companies.
Oh, and trucking has always been something I've thought about, I love to drive and travel so this isn't completely out of the blue.

Thanks for any advice/insight!

 

Thanks, I appreciate the advice!
