Hello, I've been on here for 3 years off and on, checking out the forums. I come back to get inspired because I come so close to going to CDL training with a company then something happens and I'm not going. My dad who is 79 is now living with us. He's not in bad health or anything just came to be closer to family. Well my concern now is what do I do about my dad if I go for my CDL? If I do this my relationship with my bf will be over. He is adamantly against it. So now i have to worry about my dad. He wants to move back to GA but getting him back there seems to not be the easiest thing. So I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and how they handled it? I've been OTR before with my ex for almost 10 years so I know what it's like
