[QUOTE="2slic4salt, post: 820631, member: 18550"] See I am in the point of my life where i know i need to get a career. I was able to get free CDL classes from the government and i was so convinced i was going to be a truck driver for Schneider with Roehl as my backup. I wanted to just drive around and make decent money and see the USA on my companies dime. To my surprise I even found a local job where I wouldn't have to be OTR at all. I had a trucking job that was every professional drivers dream job, working 9-5 doing local runs. Problem is I just couldn't do it. I was working their full time and still doing my package handling duties up at UPS just in case i hated the job. I will never regret that decision. What I am trying to get at is please make sure you want to do this. As boring as it is working in a cubicle doing IT stuff (I did that for a year.), I get plenty bored picking up boxes and putting them into trailers. I am pretty sure there are plenty of package car drivers who get bored too. I can't imagine there is any job where you wouldn't be bored after some time. What I would do is write down a list of the pro's of the job and the cons and also explorer some other options too. I couldn't ever imagine leaving a 50k a year indoor job to work for 12k a year in all weather conditions though. [/QUOTE]
