Sorry should have made it more clear I'm typingnon my phone so it's hard to proof read.
My dad is a o/o and I WILL NOT be away from my family all week for .40 cents a mile. I do need a job however and will be willing to sacrifice the 4 to 6 months working as a company driver if I HAVE to. After that I will be buying my own truck and leasing on with a good company, if all that works out once I save some more money up I will get my own insurance and authority. I just have to get some time behind the wheel that will count as experience.

With only 4-6 months experience, and no certified school training, you will be away from the family for 4-6 weeks at a time for 24 cents a mile!

One thing that riding with your Dad might give you is a leg up over a lot of other students if that is the route you decide to go, there are some students that haven't even seen the inside of truck, let alone know anything about it..

But having that experience, you will be above the rest of the newbies when it comes to the actual driving work.
