From Mechanic To Driver?

it is definitely a change in life styles. do you have a family or significant other? if so leaving home for weeks at a time is tough on family life. oh yeah, no more beers after work with the guys. however the money isnt bad, and being in different places all the time is a nice change.(not for going to the bathroom though) Are you at a point in life where trying this isnt a big risk to your financial position. also remember no matter what, it is a little tough at first, but you will get used to it, I myself believe it is a very rewarding career, and whenever I take time off I really miss it. I've never felt that with any other job that I have had.And I can guarantee you it beats cold knuckles in a shop in january.

 

having been a cdl holder for several years won't count for much with the OTR companies, if that is what you intend to pursue, then you may be required to take a refresher course. just the way most co's. do it.

just something to consider

 

awesome and congrat's. that part is out of the way for you then.
