I frequently worked 4 12 hour shifts in security. I didn't make hardly any money at all, though. I'd net 1000 bi weekly. What's funny is when I told my "Captain" I was quitting to drive trucks it turns out he used to be a truck driver. He told me about all the sour points of truck driving and why he left. Now I am driving trucks and literally making twice that after taxes. lol. I net 1000 weekly on average. Gross 1500.
I left IT after 10 years or so retired from the state. I took a job in security to clear my head and just keep myself busy while I decided what I was going to do next. The long nights patrolling private property allowed me think and make a decision to start driving.
Am I hireable? 21 with tickets

There is a million different jobs out there driving a truck. Try a bunch until you find one you like.
I don’t like sitting in the truck all day and want to be home so I drive a mixer instead of tankers across the Midwest like I used to do. I’m guessing you don’t like sitting all day either.TravR1 Thanks this. -
You can be hired. Take it from me.

Need4Speed and Fold_Moiler Thank this. -
Yeah I mean working 10-12 hours a day can get old. But my job is partially seasonal so it’s cool. In the winter I’ll be working way less which will be nice.
If you think about it nobody really works 8 hours a day anymore. My mom works for the government doing background checks. She works 50 hours a week. My girlfriend manages a restaurant she works 60. Same with all my friends they work long days too and I’m the only truck driver in my circle. -

Yep, I work bankers hours compared to most the contractors I bring concrete to.
Your pipe fitter friend is gonna be sitting pretty well in a few years.
