Profile For Michelle F.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your advice and input. Sounds like I need to do more reading and researching about your line of work. This early on I am still trying to figure out what questions I need to be asking. The private CDL schools provide a rather rosy picture so I most definitely welcome a good reality check. Thanks much.

I'm exploring whether truck driving could be a option for me, given that I am in my 50s and never worked in a job even remotely related to trucking. In other words, apologies in advance for my dumb questions... On your website I noticed several companies that offer CDL training indicate they hire from the lower 48 states yet their terminals/drop lots are only in a few large cities. How does this work if you live hours or even states away from your employer's hub/terminal? I live in Southern Arizona, about 4 hours from Phoenix where a few companies have a terminal/drop lot. I can't visualize hopping in my car and commuting four hours each way to the terminal when I may only be getting a day or two off at a time. Hopefully I am missing the obvious here. Thanks.
