    Since the trucking is one of the few industries that hire newbies in a down economy due to the new driver churn rate (drivers that try it, and leave for various reasons), it might not be a bad time to start... When local/regional picks ip a bit in a year, you would have the experance they want...
    To each his/her own. As long as you have a well thought out plan, and it sounds like you do, it should work out for you! Good Luck!'

    Yeah, I'll keep an eye out, and if it looks like the jobs are there, I may jump in. I just want to avoid spending the time and money, only to find out that there's no good opportunity.

    I decided earlier that training with a mega-carrier isn't something I'm willing to do, and since I live in a kind of a remote area, that cuts off my most likely option to get started. Spring and summer should give me a better idea. If the shale gas development around here starts up, then I expect there should good local demand - but that'll take a while, and I'll have plenty of time to get the schooling then.

    Thanks!
