You can beat that pay your first year in trucking, if you choose a decent company.

 

They also should pay you a stipend for attending school..right?? Thank you for your service.

You can but there is a sacrifice.. that sacrifice is your time and you have a family..I never married a woman or had kids.. I'm like a big kid in my 40's..maybe that's not a good thing LOL..I'm free enough to not care, that's a blessing.. You should really talk to your wife before you make any moves, All the Best..
