I was a Builder myself for 20 years, and worked in the biz about 10 years before I picked up a B1 license in Michigan, and one out in California.
I was pretty burned out from it, and glad to try something different.  What kind of trucking do you want to do?

Best of luck! :thumbsup:
That's what I did, and I ended up loving it. I worked over the years for several O/O's, all 2nd or 3rd generation family business. Always had top of the line equipment you could be real proud of, and enjoyed the folks I worked with. I made top pay too,... better than if I started with a National Co. I'm just sayin', either way you get a start is good, because in the end it's all about what you make of it. You learn, gain experience, and after a year or two, you can go drive anywhere you want. I went from reefer to flatbed. If I could start over again,... I'd skip the reefer work. :lol:
