magali ... I'm not going to give you the reasons you shouldn't be a truck driver right now ... just look at the picture you posted. 2 awesome reasons not to do it. I can tell you from experience, if it's meant for you to be a truck driver that feeling will never go away. It will still be with you 10 yrs down the road ... it's very rare if anyone just coming out of school will find a local job that gets you home each night to be with their family. You will probably have to drive otr for 3-6 month min. before finding anything close to home. I have a few friends and family members that drive 'local' and they never put less than 10-12 hours in a day and it's never a set schedule. The loads will always be the deciding factor on that. Before you go to school ..... just an idea, call the company's close to where you live ... nursery's, produce, lumber yards, factory's and talk them about if they hire new drivers and how many years experience they insist on before hiring you...... Your time with your children is not worth ... running the hwys ... to make a living. .... Look into driving a city bus or something in this line of work. At least you'll be there when your kids are sick and wonder where their Mother is. ... I'm a mother myself but I didn't start driving until they were on their own. It will make all the difference in your work and you daily life.
