Hello All,
I am looking for a change of pace career wise. I have always worked in the customer service industry(ugh), since I have been out of highschool. Currently, my past 4+ years have been spent in two call centers.. My current job is good, but not really fulfilling in a way I would like it to be. I have considered several choices, such as mechanic/auto body/wedling/ac and heating/welding and machinery. I have come to the conclusion that I would like to be out on the road, making decent money.
The issue is.. there doesn't seem to be an 'easy' way to get my CDL, other than getting on with a over-the-road trucking company that is willing to train me. I honestly do not like the idea of being a over the road trucker, I have a family that I enjoy spending time with, and would like to be home with every night. I would much rather prefer a short-trip driver, dump truck, or delivery type job.
Let me know on your thoughts on how I could get my CDL, without having to dedicate years of my life to a OTR trucking company.
Thanks!
