[QUOTE="buffaloPA, post: 10426078, member: 304007"][B]What would you do?[/B] You're pushing 40, still living paycheck to paycheck. 15 years of clean class B driving for the same company. Never more than a couple hours away from home. No pre-trips or log books. A side gig with some light duty hauls maybe 5-6 hours away, but never anything overnight. Not that I would mind! The only thing you love about your job is the drive, and finding new places. Loyal to the company, hate the job, love the drive. Always thought about getting class A and going OTR, but never pulled the trigger. Until now. Great timing too with mass unemployment, pandemics, etc. But your mind is made up and you have a decision to make. A: Withdraw your 401k. After they filet your soul, youve got the cash to put yourself through a CDL school and maintain current income until you find a job. OR B: Sign with a mega, take their class, honor the contract and move on. Use 401k to pay off debt.[/QUOTE]
