Hello all,
50years old
Had serious family issues over last few years with family member.So work history last couple years i have 0
Going to be losing it all in divorce.
Want a new career.
1. Hard to get into at my age?
2. Home time would never be an issue
3. Would love to run across the entire 48 and would do Canada as well.
Iv heard some companies will either reimburse for schooling and/or provide the training,lodging. I could pay for my own miles ( dont eat alot daily).
I know some do urine and/or hair.
Im bald that pose an issue?
Hardest "illegal" drug iv ever done was weed and thats been 30 years or so.
Would love a company that provides training and when thats over will have me driving all over the 48.
Any help/info will be greatly appreciated

@Chinatown can give great suggestions on how to choose the best offshore accounts no court can touch.

My head is balding but my shoulders would give a better sample, or my face if I leave it unshaved... or armpits... or other orifices. I think the hair on my arms are longer than the hair on my head now.COBB2070, FlaSwampRat and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -

Kind of glad about getting /using hair from anywhere. Lol
Thought i was going to grow out a bears or goatee. -

On a serious note, DO NOT sign any contracts that require you to pay them for your training or stipulate you must work for them for however long.
I suggest viewing the horror stories contained within the vast amounts of threads here telling of the atrocities many training companies have committed and are still committing up to this very hour.
The three most egregious offenders hail from Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Joplin, Missouri; and Salt Lake City, Utah.
Beware of this Triple Entente of terror.
Be warned also that many training companies will offer free transportation to their training facilities, but should you be disqualified or otherwise rejected, they will not pay for your return home.
Completing training and gaining enough experience to work where you wish won't be easy, but it will eventually become rewarding.
A boring line about perseverance...blah blah blah.
Best wishes to you.COBB2070, Fabulous Maximus and TravR1 Thank this. -
Living in NE: is that Nebraska or Northeast?
COBB2070 Thanks this. -

I forgot to mention a certain company from Tennessee that you'll want to avoid like a black and white plague.
I call them Gnash villains.
