Trying to decide on a career change in to trucking

Wow! I can relate to Sam. I am fast approaching 52 myself. Until 3 years ago, I was a successful business man in the retail goods industry. Since selling my business and returning to California (1st mistake), I found it increasingly difficult to find a job. Now, business owners don't care that you have a 6 yo and 8 yo to raise and help put food on the table. So I started thinking about this very same thing. Truck Driving or OTR. Sometimes we have to make the sacrifices in life to do whats right for our kids.

After a year of considering it. I now have to decide what school or company to go to. Being in Valencia California, I wouldn't know where to start. I did call CR England. But they weren't even ready to answer my questions. They just wanted me to give them an app over the web site and call it day. Matter of fact, I tried to get them to answer some questions and he just ignored me. Big turn off. He didn't even try to sell me on the idea.

Any suggestions and company ideas?

Thanks
