OTR Trucking is HARD WORK???

Now I'm 52, divorced, kids all grown

I'm in the same boat. Well, the divorce will be final in Nov. At that time I'm going to downsize (I live in a home that's just too large for one person). However, I'm making $63k. I know I won't be making that in trucking, at least not for the first 2-5 years. On the other hand, I have no bills and all my belongings are paid for.

My current job is very stressful and can personally, just do w/o it. I'm VERY seriously looking into OTR.

Looking to get into the field as a new driver

Amish country's post is almost identical to the one I was working on, except I "am" interested in OTR. I'm recently divorced and my kids are grown and on their own.

I've been watching numerous YouTube videos and reading the forums here on TT, but now seem more confused than ever. I guess the conflicting stories I'm seeing/reading are the following:

Lack of sleep Lack of proper diet Lack of hygiene Income for newcomer .. just to name a few.

I know "any" job is not for everyone and it seems that most post what they dislike most than what they like,

I appreciate any advice Many Thanks
