Hi, I'm a 28 year old commercial Pilot who is considering making a career change to trucking. Although I am still new to the Aviation Field, I am gaining a sense that it is probably best to Fly as a hobby rather then pursue it as a career. The industry is very competitive and it requires Pilots to build experience of about 1500 hours before they can qualify for a job making not much(around 30k). A little bit about my background. I have done a little bit of everything form Retail to Security but most of my experience has been in driving. I love driving and hitting the open road on my own. I currently work doing Package Home Deliveries in NJ, and while I do find the job ok for now, I want to explore my options. I do have friends who are in Trucking and they are recommending I also get my CDL. I'm looking for a career with good stability and weekends off. I do not want to do OTR or overnight driving. I'm really interested in FedEx Ground Linehaul. Anyways, I look forward to reading the topics and threads in this forum and learning more. Thanks!

Glad to have you on board our flight to Nowhere....it will be a bumpy ride, but only for the seat you have selected. The rest of us won't feel a thing.
Seriously, if you only want days & no weekends there isn't much. Maybe dump truck or mixer...
S M D Thanks this. -
