My husband has nine years of driving experience as a courier, and is looking to get into long haul trucking, but we cannot afford to pay for CDL license training. Does anyone know of any trucking companies in the Pacific Northwest area (Washington, Oregon) in the United States that pay for driver training and CDL [...]
I am a motor transport operator in the Marine Corps. I’m basically a truck driver who makes way less than my civillian counterparts. I’ve been doing this for a little over five years and sometimes I enjoy it, while other days I despise it. I’m still deciding on post military decisions as far [...]
My hubby has been doing this work on and off for 30 years. He was home while our kids were small. 3 1/2 years ago he bought his own Peterbilt and has been trucking coast to coast ever since. When it’s busy and you’re making money it’s very good. In the wintertime it can be [...]

Can be. Like someone else said, if you have kids/family at home, it’s hard to meet your family obligations when you’re gone all the time. Most long-haul jobs want you gone a minimum of 2 weeks, and you can plan on being out a month at a time if you want to see [...]
