Hello Total Newbie here-

Thanks for the advice. I've been looking into regional and local- for the most part, it seems they want more experience for those types of jobs. I've applied to about 11 companies or so already lol. So I will see what happens as I move forward with schooling. I start school orientation today I don't know if I'm being foolish or just ignorant BUT, part of me really wants to take one of the OTR jobs-21 days at a time gigs, just for a "vacation" from the family My husband really needs to be the parent for awhile. So I don't think I'd mind things being a bit hectic for him at times... this probably sounds pretty selfish of me but, One thing about being a military spouse is my whole life/career etc is put on hold to follow the hubby around- which has truly been a blessing- but I'm tired of being the only parent, My hubby is like an older child-sibling to the kids really- always gets to be the fun Dad- all jokes, games and never having to enforce rules, restrictions etc- I'm not meaning to sound like I'm complaining here but..... Well, I'm just really excited about being away for a while This probably sounds terrible.... but that's what I'm feeling about all of this- excited and eager- and probably not being realistic at all

 

My husband is really excited for me to go ahead with this journey. He's really encouraging and supportive. I've been wanting to do this for a few years now but, it just hasn't been the right timing for us-
He just got back from Overseas and isn't slotted to go back till the middle of next year- So this seemed like perfect timing! Our oldest turned 17 and is working/driving now and our youngest is 13- going on 25.. knows everything and hates her Mother.. Hah- So it will be an adventure for all of us

So I will really have a full 1-1.5 years to get as much training/driving time as possible- Before I will need to really find a more local/more home time route. Do you think this is a doable plan?

This is another reason I was wanting to go OTR with the longer driving stretches- just to get the experience before my husband has to go back Overseas. Then when he returns, Retirement- hopefully debt paid off- and he can either join me on the road if he wants to or just hang out/enjoy retirement, while I work for a while I just don't know how realistic this plan is.. lol

 

Awesome! I hope so.
I always welcome feedback/guidance- I've always enjoyed constructive criticism- especially from the wise & skilled in this profession.
