    My current job isn’t hazmat or tanker, although my first job was. There’s nothing that says you can’t do hazmat tanker as your first driving job. I let my hazmat expire and never needed to renew it.

    Wife is fine with it I haven’t had weekends off in years and that’s a big plus for her being off the same days for once

    Which town are you in or near? Maybe something else closer than 2 hours away.
    If you can relocate, that will open up more options.
    There's more union jobs available.

    That job offer you have now is probably good then.
    If you tire of that one, you'll have experience for various jobs after that.

    Get all the endorsements while in school, including hazmat. This way you'll be prepared if something better is available in 12 mos. or so.

    You could go down there and work at the scale. Those guys can be real A holes sometimes.

    I had 4 years invested in the Sheriffs department (1994-1999) and bailed and never looked back!!

    And that was back then! LOL. I didn't put all of my eggs in the basket of trucking though.

    Computer stuff and trucking combined.

    Good luck , Sir!
