Considering a trucking career after dropping out of college?

I dropped out of college about a month ago, and recently came across trucking while trying to figure out a career path. I just did an interview with an East Texas grocery store warehouse (Brookshire's) and the guy interviewing me said they hire a bunch of their truckers from their main warehouse, which is what got me thinking about it. I won't be 21 for about a month, but I think I might pursue a CDL sometime this summer.

I'm not stupid or anything, I've just never really enjoyed school. I hate listening to someone drone on about a 5 minute concept for an hour, and just plain don't like sitting inside all day either. I've always loved being on the road since I was a kid, some of my favorite childhood memories were driving from Texas to Wyoming every summer. I'm a pretty simple person too, like to camp, be out in nature, meet new people, but the idea of having the same boring routine everyday drives me crazy. I don't really have any full time job experience, just some part time stuff in HS/College; but I've got a perfect driving record and all that.

I read a lot of the stuff on your blog, but if anyone has any additional good resources on starting a career on trucking I'd appreciate it. Also if yall know of any good (or more importantly bad) schools/entry level jobs in East Texas please let me know about your experiences with them. Thanks in advance!
