what did you do before becoming a driver?

Why do you pity them?

 

I was a CNA for 7 yrs, then managed a motel and gas station. The past 18 years I was a driver for a large local company, then went into Safety, drove when needed. Got let go there, downsizing, now at an OTR company.

 

Got a degree in accounting, took a 4 month tax internship, and by the end of that, god somehow prevented me from using an AK-47 on all of my office co-workers. Politics, back stabbing, childish crap. Couldn't take it. Worked for a single CPA for a few years and still hated sitting in an office. Have been working for a carpet cleaning company and a medical courier and the best part about those 2 jobs is DRIVING! (even with all the nutcakes out on the roads). So I'm savin every dime I make and plan on going to probably SAGE in Denver within the coming few years, hopefully when the economy strengthens (but I have my doubts about that). After that, I hope someone hires me, even if it's Swift.

 

I worked drawing blood for the American Red Cross.

 

Worked on an IT help desk for 14 years

 

That is beautiful work and a well-written post. Best of luck to you.

 

Thanks,I'm looking forward to turning the page and starting this new career.

 

Well since Im young not too many jobs but I worked front office in a physical therapy office for 2 1/2 years, hate desk jobs. Valet and customer service at an elite golf club for a season, drove almost any car you could name, loved that part but tired of rich people.

Trucking is in my blood, so here I am at age 19 working for local construction company in the summer and snowplow driver for the State of California in the winter

Over the road I go at 21 !

 

I was in the Navy, got medically retired, screwed around for a few months trying to figure out what I wanted to do, wound up getting a CDL, the rest as they say it is history.

Wound up going from a company driver to being an owner opperator, then switched companies, bought my own trailer, then in 2007 got off the road, went back to college learned to weld and machine, wound up back in trucks, wound up in a wrecker, wound up buying my own wrecker, now I have a towing company, going to get back on the road some time next year.

 

I sell information to the mortgage industry and teach advanced flying(commercial and instrument training only) on the side...Both incomes died with the downturn in the economy...
