I would like to keep Firefighting on the side but also I would be okay with doing just trucking. I do a lot of traveling and know I can drive for 8hrs straight and enjoy the travel. I have gone from Nashville to Tampa a few times and do Nashville to Charleston south Carolina often to visit family. So I think I would be okay with adapting to the life style.

actually a driver engineer right now so a firefighter, EMT, and just a fire apparatus driver hoping to be a trucker soon.

Hi, I want to start by saying I am mark and am not a trucker. I am a driver engineer with a fire department and I have a completion certification after completing my EVOC emergency vehicle operator course. I am doing that full time for now but I hope to get into trucking. Not like a sleeper out on the roads all the time but like a day cab doing a full time job and Firefighting on the side. A few questions: A) am I allowed to be on this forum not being a trucker since I am hoping to get into trucking? B) does a 5 day a week 12 hours a day job exist in trucking?

I currently operate a pierce fire engine and am driving a truck weighing between 38 and 60 thousand pounds. Most the time 58,000 with tanks almost full. So I am hoping it won't be to difficult to adjust.
