    Dude, why don't you jump on craigslist and start apply for anything to keep you in the area, it doesn't have to be perfect experience, but it has to be experience.

    AND by the way, if your step dad and so on are working for a company, why don't they see if they can get you in, there is no hard rule about the 6 months, I've hired people with newly minted cdls because they were good right from the start.

    By the way, I hate that term "baby mother", it is so childish. Not bashing you but I spent a whole weekend hearing it used by my wife's friend that I wanted to throw up.

    trucking is a real dilemma when it comes to work and hometime. im sure there would be plenty of local and regional gigs for you but with 3 speeding tickets...either wait it out or work for a company that would take an advantage of that and most likely you would hate them

    ha, ha, ha, truck driver body!!! your only 33, ha, ha, ha, just wait, and the waist will expand, and probably loose all your hair, then you`ll be driving 24/7 with your stomach hanging out the bottom of your t-shirt, and you`ll be wearing flip flops. Ha, Ha, Haaaaaaaaa

    You need home time EVERY OTHER weekend for your daughter. That shouldnt be a problem, (You may miss one at first, till you put your foot down) But home for all the NFL home games. Errr fergitaboutit. Your in shape and live in hotlanta? Become a mover, Go talk to Daniels or Atlantic atlas, a.c. white United, a-1 Freeman north american. Tell them you want to learn but run local/regional. Get you4 6 months and get out. Before the moving big bites ya

    Lol.... I try not to say baby mother when talking to mom-friends but it comes out. But yea I found a job hopefully they got my app and called me back and we made a orientation date I just don’t know if they ran all my info but they hire grad students it’s called Boyd Bros. They seem legit so far, and then my job is trying to get me to stay now I would be home weekends and 2-3 days on weekdays but me and my job had a falling out recently but if I did stay with them I would have to wait til October so I should know what I’m going to do very soon. Thanks for your response though it’s greatly appreciated. I’m just eager and ready to start this new chapter

    No not every NFL game he still in college and only a few home games I think it’s 6 of them it would be nice to catch 3 of them and take my daughter if I have her. But I know what to expect but I have to ask because I’ve been around trucks for 20 years and working warehousing for 10. My step dad is a driver so we talk a bit about jobs I’m just trying to find the best place for me to get my 6 months if I have to go OTR

    The mother of your child (your babies mother)... Usually used when she and you are separated/divorced and not getting along... Also diragatory.
