Profile For Sam L.

Thanks for the replies. Old School had me pumped up and ready to go and then Brett punched me in the stomach!! Brett, I know you were telling it like it is and everyone's situation is different. I just don't want to look back 10 years from now and say I never tried it.

Long story short. I am a 52 year old married male looking at making a career change in to trucking. I have a frustrating job where it seems all I do is baby sit grownups! I supervise 25 -30 people on shift. There is always drama, whining and "thats not my job" everyday. Getting sick of hearing it everyday!! Ok, enough about poor me and my job. I am looking for some answers and not sure where to find them. I live in west central Illinois. I really don't want to relocate. Trying to find out what is available within the area. I will need to get my CDL. Researched many companies and their schools, but want to know if they operate in the area. I know I can't do a true OTR type trucking job. Wife would freak out at the mention of it. I'm sure I will take a pay cut if I do this, but I don't think I can put a dollar figure on my sanity. I have always wanted to give it a try.
