Thinking about trucking for a living

I would think anyone who takes a course can secure employment. My friend took course and recruiters from trucking companies made their pitch.
Where you located?

 

You can attend trucking school. Work out the literal learning of backing etc. And challenge to fix whatever else you don't yet know before it's time to take the DMV test. Eventually you will be a young rooster in your own Tractor Trailer ready to go work.

Your accounting skills will become very valuable in time to someone within a company somewhere. Keep that in the back of your mind. Don't let that learning rust or go bad.

 

Wal, tarnation and hellfire, don't lay in dar. Out!

 

Well first i'm just surprised you can't find work as a book keeper although if you've only done 2 years you'll need at least another year or more at Uni to be a CPA then you definitely will find work as an accountant, however if trucking is the way you want to go age is no barrier i new a bloke that started driving in the USA in his late 60's as long as you can pass a medical there will be no problem the 2nd point is as long as you can pass all the computer and practical tests you will be fine if you've never ever driven a vehicle with a 53' trailer behind you that'll take a bit of getting used to especially around intersections you have to always be careful of your back axles hitting something all this takes is practice the other thing is changing gears on a R/R eaton fuller gearbox its different to a sycro box that i think out of everything will be your hardest challenge.

 

We put out something on the order of 46000 between roughly 2002 to 2006 for college the two of us. One got that 2 year then 4 year degree very easily, met the family first dream etc to hold a college degree. Well done, earned etc.

Worthless. 32000 dollars POOF.

I took a stab at IT. Found out that Coding a a form of hard prison labor. Find out a few other things I hated to go with it. Discovered my math outside of axle weights is really terrible. So no game design there. Forget it. No Java either. Just HTML. Telecomms I killed it, I ruled. Cisco routers too. All mine. Rigging data centers etc no problem. But I discovered that I am very good at designing and building desktop computers that are very powerful within limitations of 120 volt/30 amp power T socket and money.

It only took me about oh... 4000 to learn that. Among other things like forensics and so on. (THAT is fun...) Hacking and being hack was a form of war in the security IT class. I actually have feelings, Am too nice for that. But for all that I destroyed some of my classmates, some of whom are very good. Which for a 22 year old probably hurt him a little bit considering the ferocity of my attack against his machine. I wont be doing that again.

Interest took the rest. 46000 dollars. Back to uncle sam it went. Paid.

Being a 45 year old sitting between 18 somethings during a algebra lecture is not my cup of tea. I rather sit in New Jersey camden ben franklin bridge closure than that classroom. I must have aged 10 years in there I was so out of place.

YEa college was a nice experiment. But a very very expensive and ultimately worthless.
