Stan,

Very good words of wisdom...much appreciated.

I am currently enrolled in a 8 week CDL class at Pearl River Community College in Mississippi. My graduation date is the first week of November.

My only issue is completing the application as far as my work history is concerned. I have no criminal or motor vehicle record, but the last 5 years of my employment is at best been sporadic. The last two years I have been in a transitional Veterans living program and have only been offered temporary short term employment. Before that I had been taking care of my elderly incapacitated Father for the previous 8 years until he passed away. During that time, I was only able to take on part-time work.

Based on this information, is my career as a truck driver futile? I have read several articles on this web site and feel as though I would become a great asset to any organization if given the chance to prove myself as a driver. I have no family commitments any longer and would like to stay out on the road as much as possible.

Can anyone give me any words of wisdom or like I stated earlier, is this going to be futile and look for another career to pursue?

Any help or information provided would be greatly appreciated.
