Time To Pay The Piper..?

A problem evolved and I found myself wrongfully terminated, "in my opinion". That part is well "whatever"
You're very vague here. Companies rarely fire drivers "just because". Your next job depends on the reason you were terminated. Nothing wrong with the househusband thing. But have you been busy for three weeks checking out the local jobs?
If the home front can be taken care of while you're gone OTR , then why not ask the national/regional companies? Use the one and done app: Apply For Truck Driving Jobs. But you have better come clean about your termination, because other companies won't take the "wrongfully terminated" excuse.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Alright Ladies and gents... An unusual happening but I was fortunate enough to land a local job straight out of driving school. I have worked said such driving job throughout the state of Washington including the ever so loved Seattle. Any how Nine months later...A problem evolved and I found myself wrongfully terminated, "in my opinion". That part is well "whatever" .Now i'm ready to go over the road Regional . I'm just curious , Family men, "I'm a single father of two little boys four and six. What does it take to bust through and just commit? The reason I ask that type of question is, I've been out of the truck going on twenty days now. I dream of it, I CRAVE it. I have an indescribable longing for the road. As would any single father twenty days into daddy daycare. I'm just nervous. I know with all that is me I can drive a truck and that's what i'm supposed to do . .I feel guilty but this burning inside me to take on the road is more than I can handle. I've checked out the "local" gig's. But I want all that is trucking I feel , I'm longing for a love affair , and feel guilty. I guess my issue is do I continue to flood the local scene , or feed this desire to break out into the open road and just be with my OTR fatuation? I feel guilty and just cant make a decision. This seems like a ridiculous situation, but it is my reality for now...Damn It!
