I'm a bit more worried about the heart disease that you have than being in CA. Can you pass a physical? If not, stop there because you're not going to drive any truck for anyone.

As far as the gambling....you want to drive a truck that's pretty much a gamble that you're going to get to do that.

Hopefully your current license is as clean as a whistle because we are getting real picky who gets hired anymore.

My other concern is you just up and quit a job out of spite. Uh that's not going to work out in the working world of drivers. Leave under load and you'll never work again. That is called abandonment....I get called when someone leaves a load (reefer) and the price to get it somewhere just went up.

One more thing....can you work 7 days a week, long hours, in a job that isn't glamourous at all. Can you sit for longer periods of time herding a 80,000 lb bomb down the interstate and not taking any lives including your own. Make split decision and not second guess yourself? Can you be on time somewhere? Late is late and it is frown upon in the industry. Be gone from home anywhere from 6 weeks on?

As far as making good money.....you're looking at the wrong profession. We earn every dollar we make.

Great advice! I have really enjoyed being on this site and seeing a number of people that offer more than just complaints. Well done, mate!

Yup. Thanks every1. Still trying to figure it out and waiting for to find out if I'm eligible for EED so I'll go from there. If I get it I may even go back to school and do the California Career School. I researched it and I think if your on unemployment they train you at a discount rate or something like that. God I can't wait till Monday.
