Thinking about starting a career in Trucking. Is it for me?

"So much money" is very subjective. To you 40k may be a boatload. To someone else it might not be worth getting out if bed for. But a rookie at a decent company who's willing to work shoukd be able to make 40k without killing themself.

 

I'd say you're in "no brainer" territory.

If you don't like it, work long enough to pay off the loan for CDL school and say it didn't work out. I would have that conversation with him and come up with an agreement before you accept his help.

 

Sounds like you got a great deal. Perhaps take over the company someday?
Can understand the school. He’s gonna get hit bad enough on insurance your first year.
You got a much better future working for your father in law. What he does to you, he does to his daughter.

 

Double post.
