young newbie

hi everyone. I'm dave currently 20 years old from chicagoland. i joined to get some great info on trucking. i been google searching topics on trucking and it usually leads me to this site so i firgured i sign up and get more great info from all you guys and girls. (some info on me) i work at a dodge dealership as a apprentice for about 6 months been working for dodge for almost 2 years. i'm ready to leave the auto business. i cant justify having to spend lots of money for tools then get paid crap. currently getting paid 9.25 and have about 6-7k in my tool investment. its bs to have to buy so many tools to get paid crap i rather work at mcdonalds and not have to spend money on tools. even if i become a actual tech you do lots of work for free. overall not a place to make any sorts of money. but i like working on cars for a hobby. i always loved driving but esspecially love anything diesel and big rigs. so i want to see if i can get a chance into trucking. the only thing i really dont like is being away for so long at a time i would love to have a trucking job being home daily or be away max a couple days willing to do work for it though. any feed back would be appreciated, and thanks for looking.

 

I was thinking of going to community college for training near by, but if I can find a company that offers training that would be great. And I could wait till I'm going 21. Do you guys know of any companies near Chicago I'm actually in the suburbs so anyways I hear that Con way offers daily home. What do you guys think
