Hello everyone!
I joined this forum to seek information on a possible career change and will hopefully gain more insight as to what direction I should go, at least.
I am 50 years old and don't care for my current profession and I'm looking to drive either on a local route level, or even OTR. Our kids are grown now and it's time to make some moves if I plan to do this career change.
Anyway, nice to be here and I look forward to discussing things!
~ Greetings from Ohio ~

Trucking is a great career.
Make about $1500 a week working for Transport National in Cincinnati. This company hires new cdl grads; call the company and have a chat. www.tntrans.comAries68 Thanks this. -
Carter Express has a facility in Dayton. www.carter-express.com
Carter Express offers a unique CDL truck driver training program to help qualified applicants earn their CDL. We partner with certified schools and can sponsor our students/trainees. This includes covering 100% of the tuition costs or offering a tuition reimbursement program. Once our trainees have secured their CDL, Carter Express has a six-week paid training program to prepare our trainees for their new career.Aries68 Thanks this. -

I'm not recommending any company but I will tell you Millis Transfer hires and trains students and controls the shipping for Miller Beer in Trenton.
From reading in the tanker subforum, I'm under the impression there are a couple of tank washes in Cincinnati so pulling a tank may be an option for you.
There are some steel mills or other places that ships steel up in Middletown (I-75 exit 29), so there is opportunity for you if you want to pull a flatbed.Aries68 Thanks this. -
Thank you. Yep, I live right near that area actually. The main thing is how to get trained, the costs involved and how I could even do this working full-time, or if I would have to quit my current gig and just deal with it. These are some of my questions but I have started another post on this no worries!

Yes sir, I gave a quick rundown on the types of trailers you might pull as a newbie on your linked thread. By the way, good idea to link to that.
Aries68 Thanks this. -
If Iou live in Ohio check out this trucking company. They call OTR going about 650 miles out of Ohio. They have shorter run even and even 4 days on 4 days off of of you slip seat a truck. No notheast lots of drop and hook. They basically run the same 60 or so customers. They even train new driver now.

Hey, really appreciate this! As long as I am not gone all week, or weeks at a time the wife might allow me to do something like this. LOL! I've been an 8-5, Mon-Fri my entire life so the adjustment may be a tad difficult for the woman at first but after all, it's me that brings home the bacon right?
I'd like to add that I earn around 50k per year in my profession so I know a pay decrease would probably occur but I can deal with that hopefully if it were just for a year or so. If I could earn roughly the same, or even more I would be good obviously.
