This is NOT the time to get into trucking......

 

Go to an LTL company working dock and get into their driver apprentice program. Nashville is a big hub area for LTL companies.

 

Why not? It's a lot tougher to get a job in other fields. I'm wondering if trucking will be just as tough to find a job in in about 2 years as any other field.

 

The market is flooded with new CDL holders. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of schools cranking out new graduates every 4-12 weeks or so.(depending on the school).

Driving a truck for a living is NOT like going on a week long drive while on vacation. Do a lot of research on this site before you make a decision. Driving is not for everyone. I'm not trying to talk you out of anything, I am merely trying to encourage you to make an informed decision before you spend any $$$ on a driving school.

 

Good deal. It's always best to get as much info up front as possible before making such an important decision.

I wish you the best.

 

This is some good advice, I definitely like this post. Kudos!!
