I understand that your life isn't always normal getting a driving job. But I'm not getting it to be an over the road driver. I know plenty of people who have a m-friend yea it's early hours and you don't know when you're getting off but sometimes you work short days others long. But I'm getting it for township jobs county jobs or utility companies which always want you to have a cdl.What a perfect answer for this guy...right on the money. Even the best transportation jobs have strange hours, long days, and weekends, especially if you are new. If he goes to a union company he'll probably be on the extra board, and almost everywhere, he'll be some sort of cover driver. You make your real money on OT.
Mike Fava. You need to talk to people who already are doing the job. Every one of them will attest to what SPH said. If you're looking for normal, you're in the wrong industry.
