    This advice is painful but makes sense. Thank you very much for your insights. I am thinking about applying for an Amazon delivery job in my area which is non-CDL job.
    I screenshot this comment so I can read it whenever and think...

    Yes. Amazon truck is like smaller than CDL trucks but bigger than regular cars, so it felt like good middle ground. My interview is scheduled next week!

    The Amazon trucks I see around here are electric.

    There you go I think the straight truck is the best thing for you right now. After that you get the hang of trucking and later on try to get some experience in the yard spotting tractor trailers , after that I think you’ll do fine.

    Thank you for a good idea of the path I could take! Yes I guess I would take it slow, step by step.
    Rather than rushing and then one bad accident and hurting people, crushing all my hopes in this career all at once.
     
    Wargames Thanks this.

    I had many, but few of them were productive and several were downright obscene so I went out on the boat instead.
