    Hi all my name is Josh Im 32 and live in cedar hill MO. Been working in the auto industry as an inspector/ body and paint tech for going on 9 years now and am in need of a major career change. So i have decided to try and be a truck driver. Think i have found the route i am going to go to obtain my cdl and am really excited to get started. Just have to take care of some family issues before i can jump into training and no financial contribution towards my household for a good month or so. Been really enjoying the site for the last couple weeks and thank all that have wrote informative posts that have helped me so far and undoubtedly will continue to help me in my decisions to break into this industry the smart way.

    Get your endorsements; tanker/hazmat pays the best annually. Also get a passport & TWIC for runs to Canada & loads to chemical plants & seaports. Other good paying jobs are food service(refrigerated) and good flatbed companies such as Melton Truck Lines, System Transport, Maverick. For a family man, just starting out, I don't recommend any mega-refrigerated carrier, due to low pay the first year or so. Prime may be different, but don't know for a fact.
