[QUOTE="Down_VA_I81, post: 11584824, member: 322545"]As someone recently returning to CDL work... Now is the time to find the job you want. I got my CDL in 2010 to basically work for myself. I never went OTR and never wanted to. I ran my own business and needed a CDL for my farm. Fast forward a decade and COVID-19 essentially destroyed my company and ai had to return to being an employee somewhere. Granted I used my CDL very much part time over this past decade. I've still gotten offered every job I've applied for (a few LTL companies and a few local class B places). I'm not an authority on trucking obviously, bit I will still find a job that you're happy with. Don't burn any bridges, but that whole "find a job that you love and you'll never work a day.." That's not always possible, bit I'd find a job that you're content with. Of you're asking about leaving, you've probably already talked yourself out of being able to enjoy the job you have.[/QUOTE]
