Get on YouTube, look up Bonehead truckers. That’s what it’s like out here… Thankfully those clips show the worst, unfortunately, drivers like that are getting much more common

I think You should make Your CDL. I think also You should not make it to live from trucking. I am retired now and live since 12 Years in the US. Over the road You should drive (please forgive me my hard wording) maybe at the beginning for the adventure for a few month. For longer, You should do this only when You have a terrible lady at home. I think when You have a CDL and a few owner operators where You can help out once a while, and You don*t have to live from this, then it makes sense. I think You should make Your CDL and drive some times for some owner operators. Hold Your CDL clean, no tickets no accidents. and some thing like this. So, what I think is, is when You are self employed, You never know wha is going on with Your business tomorrow. When You have Your CDL and a good relation ship with a few owner operators, then when the $$$ becomes short, then it is some thing like Your unemploed insurance.
I do the same now, I am some thing like retired. Now I don*t need the $$§. But I don*t know what is tomorrow. So I drive local for a few owner operators. Avarage about 1x a week. Some times, I don don*t like it. Ach, I can go over this. But I know, just in case when the $$$$ short times are coming, I can drive more for them.
All good
