Drive Shaft

Hi, Another newbie from TN

 

Hi Everyone, Just to give you a little of my background. I worked at the former GM Saturn Plant in Spring Hill, TN from 1989 until I was laid off in July of 2006. The last 9 years there I worked in an office environment. I'm from a small town and the only work I found was driving a school bus for our school system and working another part time job at the school along with the bus driving job. If any of you have driven a school bus you know you can't make much of a living that way.
My wife is a Medical Transcriptionist and works from home. We have two children still in school and she has worked a lot of hours keeping things afloat. Don't get me wrong, the Lord has really blessed my family and always been faithful to provide all of our needs. I have struggled with what to do for a while and a while back we decided together that I would go to a driving school to get my CDL-A license and pursue a truck driving career. This past friday I finished my school and already have talked to several recruiters from several companies. I have researched the best I could and decided to go with one. I appreciate any and all advice you folks can give me. That includes on how to cope with being away from family for long periods of time. Thanks to all.
