I've been looking to get away from my soul-crushing desk job and I've been doing some career searching. Truck driving has come up many times and it's always kind of interested me but this is the first time I'm seriously considering it as a career.
I've done my research but I want to hear from people who have been doing the job for a while first-hand. Given your experience in the business, is it worth getting into? My current job pays decently but honestly I can't stand it, and BADLY want to get out of it and find something new.
I've heard the first few years driving will probably suck depending on your employer, but that it can be pretty enjoyable and lucrative once you've got some miles under your belt.
Feel free to be 100% honest, pros/cons, persuade or dissuade.
