    Why is that a dream job? Home everyday? Decent pay? There are a metric #### ton of jobs out there like that and if you are near Indy I would imagine they are all around you.

    that's not a dream job but retiring from it? HA. likely story.

    Newbies are disposable first three to six months. Can you imagine Airlines abusing and throwing away pilots like that.

    Trucking requires a constant stream of replacment bodies. You can have a 250 truck company go through 190 in 6 months like one of mine did with the top 20 the chosen ones who will never be disposible.
