    Great money, no life, frequent layoffs over the recent years.

    The replies on this are hilarious. I know most truckers make nowhere near 200k unless they own a fleet or something. As a new driver, I plan to aim for 52k the first year and will consider myself ahead if I make more than 40k.

    OP, did you try freight airlines? Have read that UPS and so forth need pilots. Freight doesn't complain, no need to tell it what the weather will be where they land, greasers optional.

    I have also been doing DoorDash lately. Make sure you work tomorrow. Hopefully we make $300.

    Nope not sure how the airline industry is coping really? I'm sure as an former airline pilot you'll have no issues getting your CDL the only thing you'll have to remember is a truck does not have auto pilot.
