    Hello everybody I am from MO & thinking about attending T-school. Lost my job to Federal budget cuts, was a letter carrier. Thinking a career change to sitting on my backside all day, in all kinds of weather, instead of walking 12 miles a day, in all kinds of weather would be a welcome change. LOL :toothy2:

    Welcome to the forum kiralee.
    Walking like that sure keeps you in shape, I would think that would be a welcome change for me!

    First Problem I see is you do not understand the amount of work involved. Driving a Truck No matter how much you want to nelieve is more than sitting on your butt and driving.

    My suggestion is to really look inside yourself, and determine if your passions and desires would lead you to driving a truck. If so, then give it a go. If not, then you'll be wasting your time going to trucking school.
