    Yes my own van. During an 8 hour shift I burned roughly 5 gallons of gas. This wasn't everyday just two or three days a week. The rest of week was spent doing on-demand work.

    So after careful consideration and talking it over with my wife, I've decided to get my CDL (A Class) and do OTR for a year. She's cool with it and I am currently reading the CDL manual and will take the written test a month from today (March 15th). Thank you guys for encouraging me to get the CDL instead.

    Will keep everyone posted on my progress and even start a YouTube Channel once I hit the road. Allie Knight and the RightBrotha are my two fav OTR youtubers
