Have you lost your marbles? That's very hard and extremely dangerous
labor. How old are you? If you wanted adventure you really should
have enlisted in the navy when you turned 18. There is nothing
glamorous about long haul trucking... don't for one minute think it's
like what's protrayed in those Hollywood movies. And unless you own
your own rig you just ain't gonna earn very much, and even if you do
most of your income is going to be making hefty payments. And now is
probably the very worst time ever to be getting into the trucking
industry, regardless at what level. The vast majority ended up in
trucking because they didn't the IQ to do better... trucking was once
a way to make pretty good bucks with little academic education, but no
more. You could have given trucking a test run without giving up your
going Q business, unless it really wasn't doing so well.
