I want to be far away from home....

Well, without a CDL, you could alway's be a flea on the Grey Dog (Greyhound). Schooling isn't cheap. Do you know anything about trucking?

 

I don't see anything fun about it. It's not a sit on your ### job and drive. There is a #### load of responsibility and it's anything but routine. It's not just a job or career, it's a whole different kind of lifestyle. If your going to spend the cash then you might want to research more before you make a decision because spending that kind of money for a temporary career trade is hardly worth the effort. Most people who get in it these day's don't make it through school or simply can't hack the lifestyle and working conditions. Better give it some serious thought. Reason why a lot of us get in it is because we are born into it or have had some part of it involved and influenced in our personal life. Most take it as a sit on your ###, see the country side and get paid for it kind of outlook and that's no where near close. Think hard!

 

By the way, Welcome to the forum. Not trying to put ya down bud, but just trying to make sure your not going to be another one of "those" that get's in and loose's a lot after finding out the hard way that it's not what "they thought" it was. There's entirely to much of that going on lately. I'm sure that that's something all of us driver's here can agree on. "Fun", that start's to wear off in a short time. You have to have more of a love for it than anything. Even going to a company school, you will be under some kind of contract and if you don't fulfill that contract and find out a month later you don't like it you still get hit with having to pay back the fund's for your schooling. Then, your stuck with a bill, without a job, and a DL meant for job use that is of no use to you because you don't like it.

I was born into trucking. I've even tried to get out of it twice after getting my foot in the door but just like the rest of the guy's and gal's here, it's in the blood and we plainly do it for the love of it next to having to make a living. Nothing fun about it anymore. It's getting to be more of a pain in the ### with all the rules and reg.'s constantly being thrown at us. It can get you in just as much trouble as it can do you good if your not careful to what your doing.

 

Hey, stop holding back on us!! We want the bad news too!

 

# Allow_me: ####, you explained it better than I did. Thank you. That all pretty much wrap's it up in a nut shell.

lmao # oldnewbiegonnabe

 

If you're gonna do it...I'll recommend Schneider, they got me off to a good start.

Suck it up, make it happen, take the BS, keep the DMV record clean, its just a job...most of all, BE SAFE.
