    I almost went driving a few years ago. I trained with a company after work for months. Got my cdl took all my vacations and went trucking. I just loved it. The trainer I was with talked me out of it. He told me I was nuts to give up the job I had togo trucking. So now a few years later still doing a job I do not like I wonder how it would have been if I would stuck with it

    You'll find out. And if you're a newbie and don't know anything about the industry, don't lease a truck. Cuz that's what CRE is all about.

    You are so on point. Every job has its share of bull(&*!. Like tonight for example. I was at Target from 9PM-1AM, waiting for them to unload the trailer so I can call it a night. I feel asleep waiting for them to finish. But it really didn't bother me. At the end of the day, I still realize that I love this job and It's probably the best job I've ever had:)
