I've been in call centers for about 20 years in different capacities. The bottom lines is, it just doesn't pay the bills. I also have come to hate it. I have yearned to get out from behind my desk and have adventure. I love driving out on the highway in my own car. I always enjoyed taking trips. I don't have children nor a wife. I'm approaching 45. I have been thinking about joining PAM because they pay for the license and I can get experience. I really like this forum, I'm seeking some advice from some of you veterans and novices. Is PAM a good way to go? I don't have six thousand lying around. What kind of dramatic shifts in lifestyle should I look for? Is it hard to make that 50k a year if I take a lot of runs, or is that up to your dispatcher. Currently after taxes I make about 1900.00 a month. I'm concerned if PAM pays for it, they will take too big a chunk out of my check, do you have suggestions on other companies that let novices earn their CDL through the company and pay it back through your pay?
