I took advantage of the Troops to Truckers program when I was retiring from the Army. Basically, if you had a comparable vehicle on your Military Drivers License, you could take the written tests and avoid the driving portion and receive your CDL. I have a Class A CDL with every endorsement. Hazmat, doubles/triples etc. I also had a Top-Secret Security Clearance in the Army I am currently driving a local grain truck and the elevator pays me $15.00 per hour, and I have 2 years experience. I've been considering going OTR and I know there is more to it than I think there is. I'd love some advice from you experienced drivers on that idea. Thanks in advance.

Otr is the best job ever besides being an airline pilot. You Get to travel the country and make decent money doing jt. If you love traveling it's a great job. If you wanna sleep with your wife every night not so much. My advice? Back page
