You need to do your due dilligence and make a sound decision. There are many factors to think about. For instance, do you want to drive OTR or locally? Do you have a girlfriend? If so, would she like the idea of you being gone for at least a week at a time? Do you have kids? I didn't think it would affect me that much but it did. I trained with Baylor Trucking for 2 months and called it quits for a local gig.

There are many good sources of information on this forum for local driving. Mackman drives dump trucks. Lebron James is a P&D driver for a union LTL outfit. Double R is a foodservice monkey. Belpre122 hauls fuel tankers. Snowman7 and Ibamars run linehaul for UPS Freight.

Be deliberate in your decision making and you will come to a good choice.
