IDMtnGal, I will try to put this in General category. Sorry about that, wasn't aware it should be in there and I will put it in my Bio.

Hello!

I start trucking school October 13th. I already have my Commercial Learners Permit. The course is 8 weeks (or less, depending on me - I was told this). I'm from the southern Alabama region. My husband has been a trucker for over 21 years. Recently he went back OTR (he found someone else who pays more). We have a 6-year-old daughter. Before I signed up for classes, he was working local, home every night. Originally, I was going to be the one to go OTR (One of us needs to make sure we are home enough for our child and to look over our home - We have animals to care for too) and he was going to be the one who was home nearly every day. Things have changed. I paid for my schooling about two months ago, then my husband got another job that was no longer local, but OTR. Now I'm at a loss, because it will have to be me that will need to be local or at least local as possible (I don't mind being out for a few short days, but like I said, I need to have my child closer to me. Since husband isn't home) The school said they will have recruiters available, and I had planned on looking at their options. If they don't have a recruiter who is local (or somewhat local) for me, can someone point me in the right direction? I thought maybe driving a dump truck or cement truck, but most that I have seen have min. exp. of 1 year (or more). I have thought about school bus, but (please don't hate me) I hate dealing with other people's kids - other than my own.
