18 year old trucker?

Not sure about you. @ 14 years old Their was no difference between $100,000 or $1 million. Mommy and Daddy paid for everything, UNTIL age 16. " Want a car son??" Time to get a job. " 5.25 hr wow this sucks and no way i could afford $50,000 for college" Screw this crap, I'll go too the military and blow up crap errr so i thought. lol

Truck driving will always be here, Nothing fancy about it and can make very good living. But any fool can drive a truck, it's a back pocket career. I agree kid, go do something else first. Go get some Experience at life.

 

Agreed. The military is the best way to go. If I wasn't half deaf I would have been in the navy.

 

Well that's what parents and scholarships are for, but I know what ya mean.
I'm just sayin if it was my 14 year old cousin/nephew I'd tell him to aim higher than a CDL.

 

But why not have a Cdl as a backup career?

 

My browser hates quoting 2 people, added the above and agree with both of you, More to life then a CDL, It's a honest career and can do many things for a family, but it's not a priority as a first career in the 21st century. Many other things a person can do without going to a university, A Technical school. HVAC / Plumbing / Electrical


a good friend of mine repairs elevators. Minimum $100k a year,

 

Heres my advice: go to community college. See if the 2 years enables you to continue to a 4 year, ( you also save a lot of $$$$) AND many community colleges have Cdl training. So kill two birds with one stone that way

 

Become a City Firefighter, Everyone loves a firemen( not policemen ) and if get on with the right city make around 80-120k a year and a Pension and the ladies will love you !!!! all around win !

 

Plus a pension after 20 yrs and u can drive in addition to making pension salary
