Hi folks...new here. I've been medically retired(cancer) for about 3 yrs and I'm a young Man of 51. My Main career has been as a pharmacist. None the less, before I went to professional school, I went to Truck driving school(in the early 80's....I wanted like a lot of guys, to be like my Dad. Put in my hours on the road and raise my family. I ran a small business as anO/O out of my stepside pick up for a few years...there was just no work in my area with the steel crisis' of the time, so, instead of building my dream career as a trucker, I, complete with CDL A from truck driving school, drove my Pickup truck up and down the Jersey Turnpike. as a courier. Employment and oportunities just werent there and I payed my way through Pharmacy school with that little truck and eventually, I got a solid career in the pharmacy business. Well, like I said, the cancer has got me down right now. And I really don't want to go back to pharmacy. I can afford to live on less than my high pressure career afforded me (not to say that driving is not a pressure thing, Its just that I'm looking for the "No Boss" freedom again.) There ya got my history in a hundred words.....sorry to make it that long! What I'm looking to ask here is there a living to be made (even part-time) with a Dodge 3500 longbed that I can have fitted with a gooseneck hitch? I thought about pulling/relocating recreational trailors. Anyone here tried that? I'm trying to work out what it would cost but need some advise on that too.....guess it needs to be worked out to CPM and go from there. Just need some Ideas.
My CDL A lapsed years ago and I guess At least a CDL B Would be required for that and the easiest for me to get again. I know, if it were easy everybody would do it. I'm not looking for easy, just feasable.Thinking about a business in this economy.....yep I'm Nuts!
