I cut my hair extremely short, almost bald. Does this mean I should let my "soul patch" grow out more or grow a goatee so they have something to pluck? I have nothing to hide, the last time I smoked a joint was high school 30 years ago, I have a relatively healthy lifestyle, no meds, and do not associate with heavy drinkers or partiers. Except for one or two drinks every other day or so I am krystal kleen.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and am sorta the same boat as Ken. I have my learner's permit and have been studying the practice tests here for a couple weeks now, I will be plunking down my $$$ in about a month or so at a local truck driving school. I am not crazy with the OTR idea and being away from home for looong periods of time. I'm 49 and have responsibilities at home, if I was younger and still single/unattached I could do the long haul thing for awhile. I am willing to compromise being gone for two or so days at a time, as long as I could get two days home a week. I would prefer a local or regional job to start if I could get one, and work my way up to LTL or P&D. Hauling construction materials or a dump truck is even more appealing, coming from many years of hard backbreaking work in the trades and getting my hands dirty. I live in the busy New York Hudson valley, there seem to be a lot of jobs here, so I'm hoping I have a shot at making a choice that fits me.
