    Its a very good idea to get that GED. But I have never heard of a trucking company that requires one. I am sure there is , but 99.9% won't care. They are more concerned about that MVR and a decent work history.
    Oh slow down and make no excuses

    That's why I was asking if it would be impossible. If it's possible but difficult I'll do what I can to get my foot in the door. I know it's going to be hard but life is hard, get a helmet.

    I don't see a problem. Most truckers look back over the long and illustrious careers and realized most of their earnings went to speeding tickets, strippers, and booze. When it comes time to retire, they get on government assistance and hang out at the local Foreign Legion Post bragging about their top secret exploits in the seal teams that the president doesn't even know.

    You should aim high. Seal Team is training for the Super Duper Black Opps Trucker Wannabes. You should shoot for SDBOTW.

    Most guys drop out of SEAL training because they can't balance a ball on their nose.

    You'll get job offers from that list I gave you. All you need is one offer to get started, but you'll get a few off that list.

    The more tickets you have the fewer choices you will get. And they will be from less than desirable companies, The more you have. Generally speaking ( No benefits, older equipment, etc.)
