Maybe this YouTube will motivate you.

 

Wow didn't know tour bus drivers had to put up with that bull .

 

Take two weeks off from job doesn't work out go back to your old job .never guit before your sure on new job

 

If you are going to orientation, then it implies you have your CDL already which you don't.

Edit - training takes a little more time than a couple weeks.

 

Did that for a bit, myself, and made real good money for standing in one spot lol. Way harder and dangerous than I ever imagined though

 

I ate some fried Spam yesterday. Hadn't had any in years and it was delicious.

 

Many people enter this industry without two nickels to rub together. Many of them survive training and make out fine.

However, many of them never make it to the truck.

OP, only YOU know how badly you want to do this, and how much discomfort you're willing to endure. Starting at CRE is gonna be tough. But if you can survive a year with them, you can go on to bigger and better things.

Just know, that especially in trucking,......

"Sometimes you can do everything exactly right, and still get boned".

 

If you are making more than 40k per year and like the job, I strongly suggest that you leave that job on good terms. Give them notice.

Leaving trucking is sometimes not a choice. It can be dangerous out here. If you have to get out of the truck, you might want that old job back.
