<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SKYLE, post: 140600, member: 6175&quot;]Anthony, I to am looking into trucking as it is something I have always want to do since I was a kid.&nbsp; I am 40, married my college sweetheart with 2 kids(13, 7).&nbsp; I am in a area of Colorado where the gas and oil industry has just exploded.&nbsp; I actually got a job offer from Halliburton today.&nbsp; Will actually 3 offers from them.&nbsp; One as a recruiter(contract), a business development mgr in sales and a CDL driver to haul cement to the well sites.&nbsp; They will pay for the CDL and get paid while training for it.&nbsp; The first 2 options are out of the question for me right now.&nbsp; As I am so burned out on sales.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have been a Wholesale Account Executive in the finance industry for 14 yrs both auto and mortgages.&nbsp; The corporate life has all but killed me.&nbsp; I have a $100K+ a year (all commission) job that I can not stand for another minute.&nbsp; Look around locally and network with everyone you meet.&nbsp; Use what you learned to better your opportunities.&nbsp; I am finding out that a lot of the local companies are dying to get their hands on quality people.&nbsp; It appears that the pay for the first couple years is lower than you or I am use too, but after 2 yrs you can start a company or o/o.&nbsp; You&#039;ll need to sit down with your fiancée and make a family decision.&nbsp; My wife owns a new home construction cleaning company and I have positioned us, so I could get out of what I do.&nbsp; If you want it bad enough you&#039;ll figure it out and make it work.&nbsp; My neighbor runs 5 trucks locally and does will for himself.&nbsp; I just wanted to write you, so you know you are not the only one out there going though this.&nbsp; Money can not buy happiness!&nbsp; Trust me, I feel like I have sold my soul for it.&nbsp; Do what makes you and your lady happy.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
