Trucking job - expectations

Understandably. Its more or less the direction I want to go for personal and future business reasons. But I do like consistency and familiarity.

 

What could I expect my first year for pay? Again I'm looking for something dedicated route related...don't have to be home every night.

 

That's not bad...its pretty close to what I'm making right now working 80 hours a week between 2 FT jobs.

 

I had started a CDL course through a local tech school a year ago and never finished. It was hard to learn when they had 5 instructors each teaching a different way to drive on 6 different trucks. That was while working a full time job so it was hard to retain anything they were trying to get through to me. Next time I will be going to a dedicated trucking school. When I withdrew from the course....the head instructor was surprised because I was excelling at handling a rig better than the other students. I just didn't feel comfortable with my ability I guess. This time around ill be able to put my entire focus on learning, to which I'm eager to do.
