Want to do driving but I'm 20 and in Minneapolis

My mother is only 5' 3" and she drove for years. For what it's worth, a year is not that long gives yourself some time to do so diligent research on a decent company to start with. Get your feet wet start with finding some place that will hire you spotting trailers giving you some backing skills early. That's what I did at 18 yrs. Old many moons ago with a old cabover sleeper truck. Then take the time to find a smaller company that will hire you. Stay away from the mega companies if at all possible. Take the one year and really research, research, research. Visit with some smaller companies see if you can do ride alongs or be hired on as a driver helper with some of the foodservice companies in your area. Find out all you can about this crazy industry to be sure it's what you really want to do. Just my opinion

 

Go get your license. Never mind your 5.6 Ive seen dwarfs at 4 feet climbing around flatbeds binding steel coil and chain.

You will have your fill of trucking given enough years of your life in the future. Go to it. MN has many things up there. Should be pretty gravy for you. Have at it.

 

Learn a trade. Not University paper at 40K a year or 160K in debt after 4 years. Use that money to buy your own house and lands, stay out of debt.

You will have plenty of time to be a vet. Or something else entirely.

We did the college thing ten years ago, wife and I. 46K in debt, paid off by getting rid of the house. Her 4 year was worthless because 10,000 students have the same thing. It's crap. My own two year computer science work ground to a halt when I realized I wont be a web monkey kowtowing to those in charge of data centers. Or watching Indian H1B visa workers take my future work in a few months as actually happened in Arkansas. I cut losses and got out. I build big computers and some of those are still going after 10 years so I did a good job. That's enough for me.

 

LOL!

Was his company Oompa Loompa Lines?

 

Guelph University in Canada. World reknowned veterinary school, waaaay cheaper than American schools, and yes they do accept American students.

Talk to local animal shelters and farmer's cooperatives. There's actually plenty of money available for young people who want to go into veterinary practice, especially large animal (horses, cattle, and such). You may be working for just over free for a while but you'll be working in a greatly valued and much needed field.

Seriously, there is a shortage of qualified veterinarians in many agricultural parts of this country. Start doing your research!

 

You will never have to worry about not getting a job with your class A cdl. Depends what you r goal is I'm currenly with Walmart which is the best otr job. Otr is not what you want if you want kids or a woman #####en at ya all the time. Plenty of local work out there to make a life. You can actually start out with conway or XPO and get your class A through them if they still offer that

 

im shorter as well about 5'7 no issues at all with that.
