Soon to be a student - finally!

Congrats Friz! I know the feeling. I am kinda in the same boat. I have my CDL already, but I am finally able to take the leap and start a new career! Good luck with your schooling. Keep us up to date with all of your happenings!

 

What is it about trucking that intrigues you?

 

My favorite thing is extreme long load/unload times....just kidding couldn't help myself, Monday mood lol.

Good luck for real, this is a great place for help.

 

A month or so before I started school,nothing about truking fascinated me.But the school was paid for from my employer that laid me off and no other jobs around at that time unless I wanted part time so I thought why not.To this day I still can't find anything that intrigues me.But it pays the bills so that's the main thing.

 

Friz, don't let the stupid question asking from others bother you. There are several men and women who retire or get to that point in life where their kids are on their own and want to see what trucking is like. Also, its good to see that you have a supportive wife in your decision to become a trucker. By you being on the road alone, you will have a lot of time to do some thinking while going down the road. Plus you re seeing the country at someone else s expense. As long as a company gives me a detailed truck, excellent running condition, and maintains their trucks excellently , and keeps me busy,that s the key. Maybe if your wife decides to come along with you a few times and likes it, you two can become husband and wife team and pay bills with one person s check, and live off and save with the other s check

 

You consider what I asked a stupid question?Im not at all trying to sway him into the opposite direction.He wants to start trucking,more power to him and wish him nothing but success.I have had more ppl ask me why I got into trucking,what is it you like about it,et ect.I never consider those stupid questions.The guy is excited more then most and just wanna know what about this carreeer makes him excited and happy is all.

 

Very cool story Friz, glad to have you around.

Lots of people are doing exactly what your talking about pal. Good luck
