Wannabe...again

Been reading forum threads for months and grateful for the information I gathered so far. Drove OTR for a few months in the mid 90's after a 4-year Army term. The OTR life was not a good fit for me with a new family, so I re-enlisted. Now, I'm in the process of retiring and looking hard at OTR as a 2nd career after I complete a refresher course. It seems a lot in the industry has changed in the last 18 years but, pay, not so much. That's okay, I feel there's good money to be made, and I'm willing to put in the time and work for it.

 

Thank you both for the welcome and advice. I am not running into this blindly thanks to TTR. OTR is at the top of my list, however I am exploring other career opportunities since I have a pretty versatile resume.I was dead set on getting into flatbed as a segway into OD/HH, but in the last few weeks, I've started looking into tanker ops. I've figured out that I can probably start out no less than mid-30's CPM with the right company. One of my overarching motivations to being OTR is the eventual possibility of being a successful O/O and running a business. And no, I do not see programs like CRE L/P as the best mechanism for me personally to get there. Thanks again.
