New career

So I've been researching calling around all that but having trouble just jumping into trucking I'm lucky enough to have a decent job with a major retailer full time 10 years and good benefits health life and matching 401k I'm making a tad over $13 which just gets me by but I'm really tiered of the same routine daily and retail just isn't "fun" I have a office job so I'm lucky to not have to work with people (which I enjoy not). I'll be dipping into my 401k to pay for school (4500) near my house and I can still work my job, I don't have kids or wife so but I don't have bills/debt.. I've seen a few company's with tuition reimbursement which is nice and I will use. So I'm just curious do you think I should give it up and go for it the uncertainty of not making enough and all that my first year scares the crap outa me and I know there is a lot of variables but I'm amore a dedicated hard worker so I'm confident in my ability but is trucking a smart move... I've spoken with us xpress and they seem like a legit company if I can get on which would be my intent (I'm from wv) they have jobs posted in my area etc.. So I guess my question is you think I'd be ok moving forward and being able to at least make the money I would loose leaving my current... Thanks all sorry for the long post..
