I am a single mom and I just had a baby 2 months ago. Is this a career that I can have? I know that sounds so stupid that I would even consider it but my Daddy was a driver and he has been gone for 7yrs. He always said that I should get my CDL. I thought he was crazy for even suggesting it. I want to be financially independent as a sole provider for my babies. It is so expensive to live in my home town now. They want you to make 3 times your rent! Trucking is the first thing that came to mind to be able to do that!
