    Been lurking here and on Reddit awhile. Looking into the truck driving life after 20+ years in the IT industry.

    You and thousands more IT guys switching to trucking.
    It's a great career
    Where is your location; maybe we can give you some leads to some $65K+ companies for new cdl school graduates.

    Hello there Chinatown. I'm in Texas. North West Fort Worth to be exact, near Saginaw. Currently I'm taking some online classes, would like to have a leg up before I enroll in a school. As for schools, I'm looking at C1 here in Fort Worth. I can pay for my education so no need to use one of the big companies programs.

    Oh.. and thanks for the reply.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Welcome aboard and good luck. I grew up in your area but relocated to CO years ago. My brother lives in Mansfield where & drives for ABF - there's no shortage of employers in the DFW area so yuh ou should not have any problem finding work.
     
    Frank Burns Thanks this.

    Stay in IT, trucking is a lot of bs and a crappy lifestyle if you’re living in a truck

    This company has a terminal in Saginaw and hires new cdl school grads. They also reimburse cdl school tuition back to you. Most terminals offer local/regional/long haul/flex work schedule.
