Questions about entering and staying in the trucking industry.
I am looking at becoming an over the road driver. Kids are gone and I love the road and a changing job environment, love challenges. A few questions though if anyone could answer.
1) Can my wife ride along on some trips? She is not planning on being a driver. 2) "Home-time" does not bug me as much as just time off. I am currently in a job that is 24/7, I may go months without an entire day off. This is bad for a number of reasons and is not sustainable. I read that there is one day off for every 2 weeks worked? Does this change with a little seniority? 3) In a couple of years there is another part time business opportunity that should present itself. If I were to enjoy trucking, could I then become an owner operator (buy a truck) and be in a position to better choose my hours?
Thanks
