    Just curious what you guys did before driving a truck. Ive been in law enforcement for about 20 years and wanting to change careers. Anyone else make a change like that?

    Thousands of people made career changes and into trucking, from almost any field you can imagine. Thousands of police officers, IT types, retired military, school teachers, and on and on.

    I notice you're in GA. take a look at Florida Rock & Tank and Miller Transporters. Go for the good money in tanker/hazmat. Prime has CDL school and tanker school. Schneider hires new CDL graduates for their tanker division. Superior-Carriers sometimes hires new CDL drivers & so does Comcar. Their websites may show where the terminals are. Get tanker/hazmat endorsements & TWIC for those good jobs that pay over $60K per year.
