Money leads to a job. I have a job and the job sucks, I need a career and a skill that I can use in life. I'm looking at a CDL or enlisting in the air force. The CDL looks a bit more enticing since I do not want to enlist. <snip> The CDL on the other hand would have my over the road so much I wouldn't hardly know where the hell home was. Like that is any kind of change. Plus driving across the country in a crappy U-Haul made me realize that OTR would not be too bad.
Tog, my husband just recently got his CDL and is now on the road doing his training with the company that hired him. Driving a truck is very good money and you can find companies where you are home every weekend, plus they have ride along programs where you can take one of the kids with you. My husband's company is like this. He will be home every weekend and anyone 5 years old or older can ride along. He's been told that once he gets in his own truck that he will gross $1,000 starting out... and he will get raises every few months at first. If you want some more info or whatnot feel free to pm me.
