I am a Navy Vet, with some Post 9/11 VA benefits remaining and currently have full time employment as a Navy Contractor.
The PLAN
1. Continue staying with employer, attend Western Truck Driving School using my 9/11 benefits;
2. Get hired by a truck company upon completion and achieving my CDL;
3. Take '30-45' days vacation time to get some experience and time OTR...this will give me 'double-dipping' for income;
4. If all goes well with the trucking company, put in my 2-weeks with current employer and hit the road.
Thoughts?
