Want a job? Take $2000 and go to any truck driving school. Get your Commercial License and your HAZMAT Card. Then head to the oilfields and tell the manager you’ll work where ever he can find an opening. In two years you’ll be working your tail off making $80K+ a year.
No, it doesn’t matter if you are 40 or 50 years old. The world is screaming for truck drivers. The first six months is tough because you need to learn a lot. If you basically live in the truck for five years, you can damn near retire. Just invest it wisely. That’s how much money there is waiting to be earned.
I’m only 5’ 1”. I can’t reach the pedals, let alone see over the windshield, LOL!
I have a girlfriend who is an over-the-road trucker; mostly within the state. She loves her life. :)
And, I already had more than 10 years in when Slick showed up. I wasn’t going to quit. I’m no quitter! :)
