    Truck driving is a whole different life style. You have to be in the right frame of mind to make it. The pay at the start is not very good so you've got to stick through that. But once you've got some time and you keep your record clean you can find the job you like. If you have kids and a family you might think of another career. That's up to you and how much time you want to spend on the road. Anyway, do all the research you can and have a good idea what it's like. Good luck.

    I wouldn't count on such astute advice because when they aren't busy counting their stacks and stacks of cash, they're busy dropping hot beats.

    Carolina Logistics has their own cdl school, but don't know anything about it.
    Southern Refrigerated Transport runs lots of produce, frozen food, etc. out of California to points east.
