    Driving will always be there.

    If you're sure it's legit and not something "too good to be true" I would jump on it. It sounds worth the risk of having to go back to school if you want to come back to driving.

    my guess would be your buddies would beat you up for not taking that kind of a job. go for it, if it dont work out trucking jobs are really easy to find. lots of luck on your choice

    ya its a real job. my friend already is working there. he is recruiting more people. and i was offered it by my friend. but i dont know if i wanna relocate because Im engaged. i also know o/o can make more than 60k. but i will be making more than 60k like 70-80k after like 2-3 years. its pretty good deal. the free house will be for like 1 year because once i get married then im on my own. but im scared to make a leap. im kinda liking driving now. but sometimes i hate the job. the opportunity will still be here for me even after a year. but i dont wanna have a opportunity and lose it.

    I'm 10 minutes from the Las Vegas strip; Seven Hills.

    When I first started driving, was kind of forced/coerced into an office job with a trucking company. Zero job satisfaction; made worse when I saw those rigs moving down the interstate at night with the chicken lights & knew those drivers were chatting on the CB and enjoying a hot cup of coffee, maybe running coast-to-coast which is what I like. Fortunately, the company fired me and within 48 hours I was back where I really wanted to be; running long haul coast-to-coast. Try to strike a balance between money and job satisfaction. You live longer when you have job satisfaction.
