I've been a "lurker" here for a number of months and finally decided to sign-up. I am not a big "forum" person, but this site is probably, easily the best trucking informational site that I have found out there and I figured I should finally come out of the shadows.
My "short story" is that I was interested in trucking approx. 30 years ago and have mostly had the glorified view of it. Got someone pregnant and the rest, as they say, is history. All three of the biggest joys of my life are off to college and my lovely wife agreed that I could chase my old dream once again.
I thought that I could make it an approx. parallel move, even though it would probably take 3 - 5 years to get there. What I didn't expect, is that my first 4 months have almost broken me - not spirit, but wallet. I am off now to "greener pastures", knowing #### well that they may not end up being so "green". Needless to say, I can count on one hand how many states I have not been to and feel fortunate and have mostly had good experiences doing it.
I thank all the folks that participate with this site, since many of your posts I have benefited from.
Big Howdy to everyone!

I just signed up finally a few days ago. It's the best site I've found and it sure is nice to talk to others with the same background.
Good luck to you and your dreams. I am getting on a bus tonight for a day long trip to orientation after being out of the seat for almost two years. Just haven't liked anything as much. I miss home when I'm gone but I really think you have to like what you do.
Talk to you later. -
