Yet Another "Which Company" Thread...

Thank you! I hadn't heard of them before, and the limited reviews I've seen online are very good. I'll keep digging for more info on them. I could probably come up with the cash upfront to pay for it if I sold my car. It's not like I'd need it anyway, and I'd still have the KLR 650 motorcycle I just finished rebuilding.

 

Thanks Victor. The Class B is something I hadn't really considered, but I'll at least give it some thought. Have to admit, your scenario sounds appealing if it's possible - especially the "when the pavement ends" part (see the post above about my recently restored dual-sport motorcycle!). I do know that there are a lot of different paths to where I would ultimately like to go.

And yes, my grandfathers drove during a VERY different era. Better in most ways. But despite it all, the wanderlust still runs strong in me, and I need to find a way to tap into it and find a little peace and happiness in my life.

 

Wow! That's good money right there...a little more than I'm making now. I'll definitely give that a good look-see.

I see you're in Henderson. I lived there for four years, and I have to admit, I kind of miss it.

 

LOL...no worries about me going postal. I have enough Zen in my life to ensure that won't ever happen. But I have to admit...an office just isn't the best place for me. I've been known to lock myself in walk-in closets when I want some peace and quiet.

By comparison, I work in a 12x10 office space with 4 desks crammed in each of the 4 corners.. I'm literally 4-6 feet away from three other people who are constantly on the phones. It's also a temp job, and I don't know if they will ever take me on permanently or not.

Finally, I'm in a field where it's really tough to find a job without a college degree (which I don't have). It took me 5 months to find this job. Outside of these rare jobs that come open in this field, I'm a $15/hour admin in my mid-40's. So in a lot of respects, the income prospects are better for me out on the road. Especially once I get to year 3-4 or so.

You guys have been great at giving me some ideas I hadn't thought about or read in this forum. I really appreciate it. Please keep 'em coming!

 

Thanks CobraDane...I really appreciate it!

This question has suddenly become more relevant as I've just been informed that my office temp assignment will be ending in the next 3-6 weeks. So if anyone else has any thoughts/suggestions/advice for me, now would be a great time to share it!

 

I'd really like to find a way to run regional from the start, even though I know my odds of landing a regional run right out of school is small.

I know Schneider has an 11 state western regional run - that would be heaven for me. Are there any others that have regional runs in the western U.S.?
