Any Doctors Or People In Professional Fields Now In Trucking?

I'm not sure if I recall any doctors coming through TruckingTruth or not. We've had lot of others though:

Nurses, techies (programmers), pilots, law enforcement officers of all sorts, firemen (and women!), and many forms of cubicle-dwellers.

Trucking is the career you turn to when your other career choices are no longer viable or your midlife crisis comes-a-knockin. Daniel B and I are rare in that we started trucking when we were 21. The average age of truckers nationwide is in the upper 40's. It's an awesome career choice for young people in my opinion but our society doesn't promote trucking as a viable career so rarely is it a first or even second career choice for most people.

But when the economy turns on its head, you outgrow your previous careers, or you're ready for a whole new type of life trucking is where a lot of people turn.

There was a former attorney who had completed OTR training and tested out with me a couple of years ago. Also, I met a lady truck driver O/O who was a former chiropractor. Don't recall their names

I am a HVAC Tech and Master Plumber for 17 years and looking to start CDL school shortly.

I was a military officer, a realtor, an emt, and a stay-at-home mom. I wanted to go as far in to medicine as I possibly could, but as Samuel C. so deftly put it, medicine in this country is not so much about caring for the patient as it is conforming to the politics of the establishment.

This website changed my life. I started studying the High Road and realized I really, really liked this stuff. Now, I drive.

I love it, actually.
