Ha ha, very funny guys.
I’m seriously considering it, as my option to join the military is fading. I’m not going to get hearing back, it’s only going to go away. So I need to think about things I can do. I prefer a trade over going to college, so trucking is my first choice.
To those who asked if I have a driver’s license, yes I do.
How will you use a CB radio if you can’t hear?
Truck driving is not a good career unless you own your own rig. Also you will see increased competition once they open the roads to Mexican drivers. Go to college.
Well-here’s what a friend told me about owning a handgun-I think the logic applies here-”Better to have one and not need it than to need it and not have it”. Having it will probably help you when it comes to a job search.
you will not get a CDL with less than 80% normal hearing, unaided.
OPINION:
Ok. Well you may want to go down to your local DMV and also contact a trucking school to inquire if your hearing or lack of would hinder you from obtaining a commerical license for the occupation of truck driver.
I know of a company that is looking for drivers,good bonus when your hired,good pay,short runs,good benefits,plus profit sharing.
I would go into plumbing. After a few years you’ll drive your own truck, too, and after 10 you can fly your own plane.
Then do not get a CDL.
