52 and getting back into a truck.
It has been about 12 years. I drive a Concrete mixer for oh.. 13 or 14 years and when the housing market tanked the top drivers got canned. Well I was one of the top drivers so ya. I started another business and it was doing great for a while but it is failing and with the bills stacking up, I need real money again. The bad thing is when the business was making good money I lost track of keeping my medical card up to date and I am having to start over from scratch. I know how to drive, I drove fly ash trucks on and off when the concrete jobs were low. But it is what it is.
I live in Arizona so I have a few choices when it comes to the CDL training, I am just hoping I get streamlined a little faster because of my past experience.
Roehl is great choice but in my neck of the woods, but they only have flatbed available and although it pays more. I am not a spring chicken anymore. But with the great money involved I am seriously considering it. There is also Knight and a couple others. I just want to get out there and get the miles.
Main reason is I am a CEO of an all volunteer nonprofit called The "Awareness Tours" Housing Homeless Veterans Through Entertainment. We need buses and duel axle trailers to get the ball rolling and with with money in a year in half or so I could buy the first bus and trailer for the nonprofit. People are just not donating anymore so I am just going to house them with money I make driving.
"QUESTION" in my region what is the highest paying and paid CDL training company out there that will get me home so I can do fundraisers once or twice a month as I am also in The worlds only rustic outlaw southern hard rock/ metal band 2 IN THE CHEST. (Side note) If you guys are looking for some new music look us up we are on all the download sites. 2 full CD's "Iron Smoke and Spit and Lead Jacket in a Pine Box. I will check back for all of your recommendations. Keep them wheels down bruthas and sistas.

Thanks man. Yes I will be putting the Nonprofit in good hands. The board of directors will take care of things. On my down time I can do things while im out on the road. Coming home a couple times a month is doable. I have been running hard and heavy my entire life doing it here or out there is no different that's for sure. I have 10 to 15 years left and doing what I know how to do and running hard doing it will pay off I am sure, or the good Lord will take me home trying.
This is a great forum that I never knew existed until today. Thank you for your educated words. ttyl
