What state do you live? Don't mess with Welfare Express. Lots better out there...

 

I'm a bit confused. LTL jobs are typically local, with maybe a layover for some linehaul routes. That said, you will definitely want tanker, hazmat and doubles-triples to do LTL. There are LTL openings that hire inexperienced drivers, and others require 6 or 12 months. it really comes down to what's available in your area

Have you asked Western Express about taking a leave of absence while you travel? Then you'd have continuity of employment, and maybe you could even keep your health insurance. Some companies are OK with that as a one-time deal, but maybe not if your plan is to be gone for a few months every year or a week every few months. No harm in asking, though. When I was doing LTL we had pretty generous Paid Time Off, and the option of unpaid, if you needed it.

 

Other posts indicate some of the driver temp companies want 2 years of CDL experience.

 

You have a lot going for you, but keep a CLEAN driving record, and you just might be able to bounce around anytime you want. I believe its very possible. Good Luck
