I have wanted to be a trucker on and off for years. I am going on my 6th year of being a massage therapist and my hands and wrists are over it and I am mentally phasing out. Now lately I am so focused on wanting to drive, but I have a 2 year old. My husband is very supportive and likes the idea of coming with me occasionally. However I don't think I want otr because weeks without seeing him would kill me. But I'm curious about regional or is part time even an option? Should I go through tech school to get my CDL or a larger company? I need to hear others opinions or what worked for you. I have been doing so much research but everything I see or hear still has me wanting to do it. I just can't seem to shake this ache. I do smoke marijuana so I know I'll need to quit. DOT does urine which is atleast a month before I can test but big companies do hair follicle which is 3 months. I am willing to quit no issues there. Just ready for a change.
