I've been driving for 30 years. I went to a small school in NH in 87'. Within a year there were only 3 left from my class of ten. Now I suspect I'm the only one still driving. A friend from school had a severe accident by a drunk driver and had to quit. I taught truck driving for several years, and in my experience approximately 1-10 will stay with it for any length of time. Trucking is definitely not for everyone, but you won't know until you try.
I have a long story about my first OTR trip after a month's driving experience, no orientation, nothing, and it is amazing I stuck with it afterwards.

How long did they last in trucking?
